Labor market shifts as baby boomers retire; disruption caused by extreme weather; the cost of climate action; more volatile geopolitics and an uncertain future for world trade: these are the larger trends some policy-makers believe could make for a durably more expensive world.

According to Carstens, much of the world economy from the 1990s enjoyed three decades of solid, low-inflation growth due to benign tailwinds including stable geopolitics, technological advances, a spurt in globalization and an ample pool of labor.

But instead of seizing the moment to make investments and reforms for the future, governments took on debt to chase yet more growth. And while globalization made a few people very rich, it was leaving millions more feeling worse-off.

The 2008/09 financial crisis, pandemic and Ukraine war have revealed how fragile this growth fueled by cheap debt and just-in-time supply chains was. Now, the greater fear is that those tailwinds keeping it all up in the air are turning to headwinds.

Core inflation has remained high enough for the Fed to raise the federal funds rate by another 50 to 75 bps in September.

Economic growth will slow further amid tighter financial conditions, which will weigh on commercial real estate fundamentals and investment volumes.

Prices increased by 8.5% in July but were unchanged from June levels, largely due to falling fuel prices. Core inflation, which excludes food and energy prices, increased 5.9% from a year ago and 0.3% from June. These elevated rates ensure that the Fed will continue to tighten monetary policy to bring inflation closer to 2%.

If you're uncertain about the market right now or how this change in inflation will effect your finances, then please reach out to Paragon Private Wealth Group and we will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Falling gas prices are set to shave at least one percentage point off of headline Consumer Price Index growth over the coming two to three months.

Lower inflation will be welcomed by both investors and the Federal Reserve, as it could give the central bank more flexibility in its current interest rate hike trajectory.

If inflation readings show a marked decline in prices, it could lead the Fed to slow down its interest rate hikes from the recent 75-basis-point increase to 50 or even 25 basis points.

But investors shouldn't expect falling inflation to help push the stock market higher because the Fed still has a lot of work to do to get the current inflation rate of 9% back to its long-term target of 2%.

These are tough waters to navigate and you shouldn't go into it alone. If you have questions on how best to allocate your savings or how best to navigate the stock market please reach out to Paragon Private Wealth Group and we will be happy to help!

Tech stocks may disappoint if a recession hits the U.S. economy, says Bank of America. Megacap technology stocks could face the biggest challenges, BofA says.

"Many view tech as the new defensive sector with stable earnings, especially after Covid when tech earnings grew despite an economic recession," said the Bank of America report, published on Tuesday. "But we believe tech earnings will prove to be not as defensive as many hoped."

The stock market in 2022 has been one of the most volatile markets on record. The S&P 500 has seen a near 20% drop so far YTD and the Nasdaq 100 has seen almost a 30% drop YTD. Growth stocks have also taken a beating, with many down 50-80% YTD according to Entrepreneur Media.

Many people have asked, what is causing this volatility and recent bear market behavior? There are many factors that have attributed to this recent volatility. But the main three reasons many experts believe are causing this are the Federal Reserve, inflation, and geopolitical issues.

With so much volatility in the market, it’s tough to figure out which stocks to invest in. It’s important that you have an expert advisor that has been through times like this before. At Paragon Private Wealth Group, our advisors have seen the highs and the lows of the market and know how best to navigate difficult times like these. If you have questions, please reach out and we’ll be happy to guide you through these troubling times.

According to a study conducted by US-based asset manager Hartford Funds, between 1930 and 2019, dividends contributed 42% of the S&P 500’s total return between 1930 and 2019 – that’s roughly 1.8% a year on an annualized basis (this is using the widely-followed US large-cap barometer here).

The easiest way to find the best stocks with dividends is to screen for companies with a high level of dividend cover. This is calculated by dividing earnings per share by its dividend payout per share. When the ratio is above two, it can be a sign that the business’s dividend is well covered by earnings. A ratio below one can be a sign the payout is unsustainable.

But there’s no one-size fits all strategy for analyzing income stocks. It’s important to use an approach that incorporates several different metrics to assess an organization’s financial health and future dividend prospects.

Betting on rebounds (buying dips) works well when markets are trending higher. But when crashing as they are now, these cute strategies get investors in big trouble. So, what is the best strategy in a market like this?

Although it’s important that you remain nimble and ready to buy. The best deals happen at the end of bear markets, and you won’t want to miss your opportunity.

Back in 2008 was the last time the Fed Funds Rate was as high as it is projected to go next. That year started with a stock market tumble and ended with the financial system on the ropes. We’re not saying that is going to happen again, but there are alarming similarities. So, it’s important that you remain cautious and on top of your investments.

If you have questions on how best to navigate this bear market, please reach out to Paragon Private Wealth Group and we will be happy to work with you to find a unique strategy that works best for your goals and get you through these troubling times.

At the end of 2021, analysts from the likes of JPMorgan and Bank of America predicted the S&P 500, the broad index linked to many workers' retirement accounts, would gain 4 or 5% in 2022. Halfway through the year, however, the benchmark index is down 21.5%.

It's time to embrace the realities of labor shortages, supply-chain issues, and inflation at a 40-year high as warning signs. It’s time to start asking questions…How can you come out of this crisis? How can you turn your weak investments into strengths? How can you move faster than everybody else? How can you adapt faster to the changing business environment than anybody else?

It's not easy to do any of this on your own, which is why you want a financial advisor that has dealt with this type of adversity in the past. If you have questions on how best to navigate the market please reach out to Paragon Private Wealth Group and we’ll be happy to help!

On Thursday, the Dow sank 741 points or 2.4%, falling below 30,000 for the first time since January 2021 according to CNBC. The 30-stock average closed roughly 1% above the bear market threshold of a decline of 20% or more from a prior high, which was a record in early January. The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq plunged 3.3% and 4%, respectively, both sinking further in bear markets. Markets had rallied on Wednesday after the Federal Reserve announced its largest rate hike since 1994 but reversed those gains and then some on Thursday.

Bear markets can be rough on everyone’s investments. It’s tough to predict anything in such a volatile market. In times like this it’s not about trying to time the market but instead remembering that it’s more about the time that you’re in the market.

Since the beginning of 2022, the S&P 500 index is down nearly 21% as of Monday afternoon according to CNBC. Companies like Amazon and Google parent Alphabet are leading the way with their 39% and 27% respective drops. Elon Musk's Tesla has also lost 45% of its market value since January — shaving more than $500 billion off of its market cap.

The problem has been exacerbated by inflation and global uncertainty, with experts predicting that a recession could be around the corner.

Put simply, bear market is the term used to describe when the equity markets are down 20% or more from their most recent all-time high. In this case, the S&P 500 index closed Monday at 3,749.91, with its previous high being 4,818.62.
