Fairlead's Stockton: The war isn't why the market is range bound

Katie Stockton, founder at Fairlead Strategies, says the market appears to be in a long-term trading range for 2022, not because of the geopolitical concerns over war in Ukraine or the worrisome inflation numbers or pressure on interest rates at home, but instead based on technical reasons which show that the major indexes have lost upside momentum and will struggle to get it back. In the Big Interview, Scott Knapp, chief market strategist for CUNA Mutual Group, says that the conflict in Ukraine has changed the headlines, but it shouldn't have changed portfolios much because economic struggles were easy to foresee at the end of last year; likewise, he's not changing his outlook or strategy for 2022 until he sees a slowdown in demand and a reduction in gross domestic product.
