PCE inflation rate slowed to 5.5% in November
Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE), the Bureau of Economic Analysis inflation index most closely watched by the Federal Reserve (even moreso than CPI), slowed in November: another sign that the long-lasting surge in consumer prices seems to be easing.

Anyone For An Early Christmas Present?
Let's not sugarcoat things. It's been a terrible year for investors in both stocks and bonds. Stocks are in the midst of their worst run since the 2008 financial crisis, while bonds are experiencing their worst year ever. The S&P 500 is down about 15% from its highs, and retail investors are faring far worse.

When Is Good News Bad and Bad News Good
Fresh out of college In 1989, with a degree in Finance & Economics, I felt I had a better-than-average understanding of the economic news cycle and how it impacts the equity markets. However, what I didn't realize then was how often good news could be considered bad and bad news could be considered good.

There's No Such Thing as Average in Real Life
We understand that this year has been challenging, disappointing and stressful for our clients. Over the past 6 years, returns within the equity markets were easy. We were all conditioned to buy the dips - after all, sell-offs lasted only weeks or maybe a few months back then. But from 2022, you would have to go back to 2008 to find a year that similarly tested our commitment to a long-term plan.

What the Strong Dollar Means
for Businesses & Investors
The U.S. dollar is the strongest it has been in decades and is showing no signs of cooling off. Given the Federal Reserve's restrictive monetary policy actions of late, the dollar's strength against most foreign currencies is likely to continue, at least into late spring of 2023.

A Recap from Jackson Hole
When Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell spoke at the Fed's annual Economic Policy Symposium in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, he did not mince words. It was clear that the Fed's overwhelming priority is pulling back inflation from the fastest pace in four decades.

The Shape of Economic Recovery
Are we in a recession? The long-accepted definition of two-consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth (-1.6% in Q1 2022 and -0.9% in Q2 2022) has been much debated of late.

2022 Mid-Year Market Outlook
The Rock and the Hard Place
Many economists, market-watchers and pundits are postulating that the peak of economic uncertainty occurred in the first half of 2022. However, over the coming months, the markets are likely to continue feeling the weight of slower economic growth coupled with tightening Federal Reserve policy.

Facts are Empowering
Merriam-Webster defines outlier as a data point that is markedly different in value or atypical of others in a sample data set. In the financial markets, anytime you have to go back decades to find a comparable circumstance, you know you are looking at an outlier event. 2022, so far, certainly fits that definition.

View Disclosure
WT Wealth Management is an SEC registered investment adviser, with in excess of $100 million in assets under management (AUM) with offices in Flagstaff, Scottsdale, Sedona and Tucson, AZ along with Jackson Hole, WY and Las Vegas, NV. WT Wealth Management is a manager of Separately Managed Accounts (SMAs). With SMAs, performance can vary widely from investor to investor as each portfolio is individually constructed and managed. Asset allocation weightings are determined based on a wide array of economic and market conditions the day the funds are invested. In an SMA, each investor may own individual Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), individual equities or mutual funds. As the manager we have the freedom and flexibility to tailor the portfolio to address an individual investor's personal risk tolerance and investment objectives – thus making the account “separate” and distinct from all others we manage. An investment with WT Wealth Management is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other government agency. Any opinions expressed are the opinions of WT Wealth Management and its associates only. Information offered is neither an offer to buy or sell securities nor should it be interpreted as personal financial advice. Always seek out the advice of a qualified investment professional before deciding to invest. Investing in stocks, bonds, mutual funds and ETFs carries certain specific risks and part or all of an account's value can be lost. In addition to the normal risks associated with investing, narrowly focused investments, investments in smaller companies, sector and/or thematic ETFs and investments in single countries typically exhibit higher volatility. International, Emerging Market and Frontier Market ETFs, mutual funds and individual securities may involve risk of capital loss from unfavorable fluctuations in currency values, from differences in generally accepted accounting principles or from economic or political instability that other nations experience. Individual bonds, bond mutual funds and bond ETFs will typically decrease in value as interest rates rise. A portion of a municipal bond fund's income may be subject to federal or state income taxes or the alternative minimum tax. Capital gains (short and long-term), if any, are subject to capital gains tax. Diversification and asset allocation may not protect against market risk or investment losses. At WT Wealth Management, we strongly suggest having a personal financial plan in place before making any investment decisions including understanding personal risk tolerance, having clearly outlined investment objectives and a clearly defined investment time horizon. WT Wealth Management may only transact business in those states in which it is registered, or qualifies for an exemption or exclusion from registration requirements. Individualized responses to persons that involve either the effecting of transactions in securities, or the rendering of personalized investment advice for compensation, will not be made without registration or exemption.
