Brainard wants the Fed for a quick cut in the balance sheet
Fed Governor Lyle Brainard said Tuesday that she wants the central bank to start reducing its massive balance sheet soon and “at a rapid pace.” “I expect the balance sheet to shrink much more quickly than it did in the previous recovery,” added Brainard, who was nominated for the Fed vice chair.
Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell has indicated for some time that policymakers will begin to shrink their balance sheet, but Brainard’s comments have indicated that it is likely to come soon.

Market Rise Analysis
The stock market rally eased Tuesday, with heavy losses among technology companies and small businesses.
It appears that the major indicators are forming handles after a period of significant increase. So far, the Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq indices appear to be operating normally. If the S&P 500 and Nasdaq drop below their 21-day moving averages, that will be even more worrying.
But there is a noticeable weakness beneath the surface.
Technical stocks look weak. Yes, Apple stock is set up near record levels. Microsoft and Google stock are getting close to buying points, even though neither have made any headway over the past several months.
Meanwhile, chip stocks fell amid reports of weak demand for computers and consumer electronics. Software and other high-value growth names are under pressure due to rising Treasury yields. Tesla is one of the only three-digit PE stocks that has been booming, which is an impressive and troubling distinction.
Shipping stock is also poor. Trucks, trains and other “land” shippers continue to sell, while ocean-going containers and dry bulk carriers are now losing steam.

Time to Market with IBD’s ETF Market Strategy
What are you doing now
The stock market rally does not show distress on the major indicators. But investors should focus on what works, not the sectors they find particularly attractive. The energy and commodity spaces continue to function well. Medicines from a variety of combinations go well.
If you already have a lot of exposure to those areas, you may just want to sit up hard.
If you are in a number of developing stocks, you should probably cut back. Simply cutting losers or exiting winners who give up on gains may reduce your exposure to growth without any overt portfolio management.
In general, investors will likely take a cautious approach. Watch how the market pullback happens before taking big new positions. Keep refining your watch lists. If the market rally regains momentum, you can take advantage of the best stocks. If the market rally starts to falter seriously, you will be prepared to reduce your modest exposure even more.
