Headline Trauma: What to Make of Daily Noise and Cycle Timing
Waking up to the morning financial news has become a bit more "interesting" over the last several weeks given a return of significant volatility in the public markets, and a seemingly unending string of domestic economy and geopolitical headlines that swing wildly from fairly normal course to borderline insanity. When you mix in legitimate trade wars and discord between just about every branch of government (and the Fed), and the Alka Seltzer tends to come out of the drawer a lot earlier in the day than is typically the case. With massive daily market movements sparked by a historically broad set of drivers, it's fairly straightforward to conclude that the M&A markets could be setting up for volatility of their own - after a very long period of sustained upward movement.
