👀What We’re Watching👀
• MSOS: SAFE Banking coming right down to the wire
With AdvisorShares Pure US Hashish ETF (NYSE: MSOS) wanting technically sound and coming off of its 4th consecutive weekly acquire, traders seem like frontrunning the benchmark ETF in anticipation of lame duck regulatory reform. Whereas the prospects of this motion stay difficult, a plurality of traders appear to coalescing on the truth that Congress may very well get one thing carried out. Or on the very least, the politicians are giving greater than lip service by making an attempt to deal with the issue.
The SAFE Banking Act seeks to harmonize federal and state legislation by prohibiting federal regulators from taking punitive measures in opposition to depository establishments that present banking providers to professional cannabis-related companies and ancillary companies that serve them. The invoice establishes a protected harbor for any depository establishment that chooses to supply banking providers to a cannabis-related professional companies which holds and maintains a license from a state or native authorities to have interaction in manufacturing, rising, or producing, in addition to any enterprise who handles, sells, transports, shows or distributes hashish or hashish merchandise.
And optimism of SAFE Banking passage in on the upswing. Simply this previous week, Cowen analyst Jaret Seiberg stated in an analyst note that: “We’re more and more optimistic that Congress will enact the SAFE Act on hashish banking by the year-end. We now set a 75% likelihood for passage”.
Progress on hashish banking reform is paramount as a result of SAFE is the business’s finest likelihood at main reform till at the very least 2025, within the aftermath of the following presidential election. With whole Senate disinterest in advancing the Chuck Schumer-sponsored Hashish Administration and Alternative Act this summer time, it has develop into apparent that incrementalism is the way in which ahead.
To that finish, the SAFE Banking Act—which is a banking invoice and never legalization focuses—offers the incremental progress wanted to normalize the hashish business and get it to the following stage of reform.
The brand new Congress will sit on January 3, 2023. Ought to SAFE Banking not move earlier than then, renewed legislative priorities could imply that federal hashish will take a again seat till additional discover.
• Santa Claus rally coming to city?
US shares have rebounded from 2022 lows, and mixed with historic power within the month of December (since 1896, the common annual acquire on the Dow is 3.35% measured from post-Thanksgiving till Christmas), has some traders hoping for a Santa Claus rally in shares.
December is usually a great month for the inventory market as fund managers use end-of-year inflows to purchase outperforming shares to “window gown” portfolios and maximize fund returns and yearend bonuses. Low liquidity throughout holiday-shortened weeks is supportive to cost motion and retains the quick sellers grounded. Momentum seems to be on the bulls aspect as nicely. The previous 4 years have seen the key indices melt-up in unison.
Nevertheless, it’s fairly attainable that this yr could possibly be an outlier, as the main target has largely shifted to the Fed and the tempo at which it is going to proceed elevating rates of interest. One other 50bps are anticipated on the December assembly, and main Wall. St. funding banks don’t essentially count on the Fed Funds charge to lower anytime quickly in 2023.
So whereas the Santa Claus rally might occur, we really feel this yr any potential rally is a pink/ black guess on the roulette wheel. So long as the Fed’s restrictive financial coverage stays in place and in-focus, traders are simply as more likely to get a lump of coal of their stocking as a field of goodies. Caveat emptor.
