WSJ Your Money Briefing · A Volatile Week Marked by Uncertainty · 28 Dec 2018 podcast

The last times, if you look back in history, where we see this kind of movement has been during crises. voice-verified

And we're not in one right now. voice-verified

Looking into 2019, that's what a lot of the different analysts, investors that I've spoken with have also said. voice-verified

There's just a number of different uncertainties if you look at the Federal Reserve and the rate path, trade tensions, global growth concerns, and whether or not the U.S. voice-verified

can continue to be the standout against other economies globally, like it was in 2018, the question mark continued. voice-verified

is basically, can we still be the strongest one in the room? voice-verified

Yes, that was definitely a part of that, as well as different margin calls. voice-verified

But still something I thought was interesting, if you looked back to last Friday and Monday, typically you wouldn't see the type of volumes that we see. voice-verified

And we are. voice-verified

And to your point, I think a lot of the moves to the upsides and the downsides are just there's not as many players in the market, different traders, human traders. voice-verified

This is kind of what someone was explaining to me earlier earlier. voice-verified

So when you have a lot of this algorithmic trading that's trading on a lot of headlines, you'll see those big swings like that. voice-verified

So if you look at a lot of the sectors that have been beaten down, particularly energy because of what we've seen in the commodity space and oil being in a bear market, even though it's been beaten down, I have spoken with a lot of wealth managers that have still been buying shares because they think the valuations look attractive. voice-verified

And the question is, will they continue to buy those beaten down shares in the first quarter? voice-verified

And that's something that they're really looking at, as well as if you look ahead to next week, we're going to have the jobs report as well as manufacturing data. voice-verified

So that's going to be really key next week on Wall Street's radar. voice-verified

Yes, and that's really because a lot of them keep reiterating that opportunity. voice-verified

we should perhaps get more clarity in the next 90 days on trade, as well as the Fed has a few meetings. voice-verified

And if we look in January and another one in March, that's all in the first quarter as well. voice-verified

So a lot of these sort of lingering issues could actually be resolved and we could see this turn around. voice-verified
