Conclusion :
- US tech equities may be at fundamental 2Y-forward fair value already, but short-term trading factors will harass prices for much of 2023
- These short-term risks may be priced in quickly in 1Q'23, otherwise IXIC trades sideways all year, as earnings calls gradually catch up with M2 tightening policy.
- Meanwhile, as soon as inflation intersects with fed rates around 5.40%-5.70% between 22Mar'23 and 3'May23, optimism will impact crypto before IXIC.
