- Title: Wall St ends down as caution rises before big tech earnings, Fed
- Date: 27th July 2021
- Summary: NEW YORK, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES (JULY 27, 2021) (REUTERS) (SOUNDBITE) (English) SYSTEMATIC VENTURES, CEO, MAX WOLFF, SAYING: "Yes, it looks to me like the market's getting to the point where it's about as overbought as it can get. In other words, we've squeezed every upside story for all the juice that's in there and ignored a lot of the downside stories. And I think a very, very robust recovery trade got way out over their skis because I think the Delta variant is kind of humbling there. I do think we might see a little more accommodation to bullishness from the Fed, but I also think how much higher that we are going to go. We have an eight trillion dollar Fed balance sheet. We have 10-year is at 1.25. We have 30-year mortgages at two percent. We have a housing supply shortage, but the prices have gotten so high that it's tempering some of the excitement. I just sort of think that the things that got us here up out of the doldrums, they've gone to about 110 percent as far as they could go. So we need a new story to go higher. Otherwise, we'll come a little bit back down to earth for a few weeks and maybe have a little bit retrenchment, which is healthy to march lower."
