Is the market discounting the 'higher for longer' too easily?

Watching the market rally back, especially after some of the recent CPI prints, makes me wonder if we're all a bit too quick to dismiss the Fed's 'higher for longer' stance. $COMP trading at 11.72 now feels like a lot of folks are just assuming a pivot is around the corner, despite clear indications to the contrary. Seems like the narrative has shifted to ignoring the data and just chasing the momentum. What am I missing here?

It's interesting how quickly sentiment can shift. I'm still trying to understand what factors weigh most heavily on market participants when they seem to diverge from the Fed's messaging. Is it purely earnings expectations, or something else driving this optimism?

It's a really interesting point. I do wonder if some of the recent moves are more about 'less bad' news rather than a true belief in a quick pivot. People might be positioning for the first signs of a rate cut, whenever that may be, rather than strictly pricing in the current Fed rhetoric.

It's a really interesting point. I do wonder if some of the recent moves are more about 'hope' for a pivot than actual economic data. It's a tricky balance between what the Fed is saying and what the market wants to believe.
