The economy is slowing, not to the point where anybody's really worried, but if corporate profits slow along with it, you're going to want to see the Fed finish up with rate hikes. But the Fed is going to err on the side of inflation. So the one catalyst that could move the markets out of this trading range doesn't seem to be there right now. - Russ Koesterich Quotes

Core inflation (excluding volatile energy and food prices) has stayed relatively contained. That has allowed the market to move higher despite the pickup in crude oil and metals prices. - Russ Koesterich Quotes

I think, overall, we're seeing some friendly economic data that helped the market out. That said, there's not a lot of catalysts out there that could take us much higher, unless oil drops $5 a barrel or the Fed comes out with amazingly clear language in its take on the economy, and neither of those are likely. - Russ Koesterich Quotes

The market was a little oversold. I think this (the run-up) is mostly technical. I don't think you can read too much into it, since there weren't a lot of drivers. - Russ Koesterich Quotes

The selling you're seeing is nearly all on the tech side, and you're seeing resilience in other parts of the market. This tells me that people aren't panicking over Japan or anything else. - Russ Koesterich Quotes

Things have been very distorted by how warm the weather was in January. To some extent, we're trying to get a handle on how it impacted the economy. It helped retail spending and housing starts, but has hurt energy prices. - Russ Koesterich Quotes

Earnings are the most likely catalyst in the short term. The market is very concerned about inflation and the consumer rolling over because of higher prices. If the outlooks call for strong fourth-quarter sales, then you could see something good happen. - Russ Koesterich Quotes

We're just winding down the year, ending the year with these sort of small, middling gains, which to me makes sense because you've had opposing factors this year. On the one hand you've had good earnings and a robust economy, but on the other hand, you've been fighting the Fed. The two canceled each other out. - Russ Koesterich Quotes
