Unemployment

Fig-8.-11-1-2024The 11/1/2024 BLS Employment Situation Report shows that the October 2024 unemployment rate remained at 4.1% unchamged from last month. Our UER model does  signal a recession.

 

 

CAPE-Cycle-ID

Fig-9a-11-1-2024Fig 9a depicts the CAPE-Cycle-ID and the year-on-year rate-of-change of the Shiller CAPE;  the level switched from -2 to 0 end of June 2023 generating a buy  signal. This indicator now invested in the markets. This indicator is described here.

To avoid the bear market, exit stocks when the spread between the 5-month and 25-month moving averages of S&P-real becomes negative and simultaneously the CAPE-Cycle-ID score is 0 or -2. (read more)

 

Estimated Forward 10-Year Returns

Fig-9b-11-1-2024The estimated forward 10‐year annualized real return is 4.9% (previous month 5.1%) with a 95% confidence interval 3.3% to 6.3% (3.7% to 6.6% ). Also refer to the  Realized Forward 10-Year Returns vs. Inflation Rate Fig-9c-11-1-2024We may be in a rising inflation period with a falling CAPE-MA35 ratio similar to 1964-1973. This implies very low or negative 10 year forward annualized real returns, much lower than the returns indicated by regression analysis shown in the Estimated Forward 10-Year Returns.
