New Trade for March 14th, 2023

Stocks were looking to recover losses this morning from a volatile previous session following the Signature Bank and Silicon Valley Bank failures. More volatility can be expected as investors process history’s second and third-biggest bank failures. However, consumer price data released this morning soothed market sentiment as it came in primarily in line with expectations. 

As of Monday, traders saw an 85% probability that the Federal Reserve would raise rates a quarter point at its next policy meeting scheduled for March 21-22. Although some think Fed officials might hold off, for now, prioritizing financial stability after high-profile bank failures rattled the financial system.

Despite challenging conditions, analysts expect our recommendation for today to climb more than 40% over the next year. Its defensive nature and global presence should help fortify earnings, regardless of the Fed’s next move.
