The 10 Year Treasury Coupon Rate is stated to be 4.125%\/Yr but they are being purchased at a premium, giving the bonds an effective yield of around 3.5%\/Yr. One way of looking at this shows bond buyers are paying almost an 18% premium for those bonds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SignalPoint\u2019s Market Risk Indicator continues to trend modestly downward even with some speculative push and valuations which don\u2019t appear to be a bargain right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"816\" height=\"433\" src=\"https:\/\/www.signalpointinvest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/MRI-1.16.23.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3558\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The year end dip in the S&amp;P 500 was shallower than the two previous false bottoms.

Inflation is flattening out in recent months giving Short Term Interest Rates a chance to catch up. Price to Earnings have risen with the improved markets but the indexes probably won\u2019t lift much higher under the current environment. Q4 \u2013 2022 earnings will be something that is discussed quite a bit over the next few weeks. Good news should help the markets but many investors are \u201cforward looking\u201d right now and are more concerned about future earnings.<br>\u00a0<br>Best regards,<br>Tom Veale<br>\u00a0<br>SignalPoint\u2019s Market Risk Indicator dropped another point to 30 this week with the MRI Oscillator showing just +2 (low upward risk pressure). Our Relative Valuation Index along with the Speculation Index both rose with last week\u2019s trading.
