Issue #3: 2022 second half Feng Shui Forecast on Stock Market
The market today, is full of uncertainties. Your guess is probably as good as mine. Hence, I want to do my Feng Shui market forecast for the second half of 2022, and hope that you can be better prepared... After all, 2023 isn't easier to walk past either...
The world is make up of people and today the most ideal scenario that we people want to see, is further upside in asset prices but low inflation. Therefore, if there's any rebound in 2022 could probably come strong and sharp under the human intervention. But the flip side is any sell down could come equally fierce.
5 July - 5 Aug 2022
Stepping into July, being the last month of Summer, the world is filled with anguish and anxiety... besides driving on the road, we need to learn to be patient, we also need to avoid being lured into something that looks too good to be true.
With Water element combined with Fire, and make it lost its cooling effect to everything include weather and the the followings :
Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe assassinated
Boris Johnson resigns as U.K. prime minister
Sri Lanka's debt crisis and protestors stormed the palace while its president fled to Singapore
Cases of COVID-19 are surging again globally...
In general, traders are also harder to make money this month, as such don't expect big profit. Sell off your positions once you see profit, don't be greedy is my advise this month. In fact, this month can be boring too and last week, I think we experienced a directionless week.
FOMC is taken place on 26-27 July... be it 0.75% or even 1%, investor need to be careful if there's another round of sell down after FOMC.

5 Aug - 5 Sep 2022
Entering the season of Autumn in Lunar Calendar, I'm worry about a possible big crash may take place between countries. Be it the Russia-Ukraine war got worsen or other outbreaks that had been brewing for sometimes... the commodities price will be extremely volatile, especially the prices of agricultures could probably face selling pressure. And therefore, don't buy back or buy on dip on agricultural related counters until end of the year.
Though USD should further strengthen with the rising interest rate, yet Gold price could have some rebound when come to later part of August.
5 Sep - 5 Oct 2022
Gold price may continue to keep its uptrend when entering September. And this month, REITs and property counters may catch up in prices and try to make a comeback... but this may not last long.
And oil price may retreat... even it could be temporary. The least is traders can be more optimistic during this stretch of time. Bear in mind, FOMC will be taken place on 20 - 21 September... very likely the market has started to digest the effect brought by the interest rate hike or the commodities price show some obvious sign of weakness... we shall see...
5 Oct - 5 Nov 2022
Gold may hit some recent high but also may retreat on the month of Oct... but oil price could make a come back... and high energy may drive the market to another new round of concerns.
Stock market may pull back again with another new round of concern over high inflation as the world stepping into winter. The demand of fuels is unavoidably high. This situation could trigger FOMC that fall on the 1 - 2 November to consider another big jump in rate.
5 Nov - 5 Dec 2022
This month, the stock market may rebound and traders can enjoy a joyride in the market... but the cashflow in the market could be tightened due to some reasons and cause some businesses run short of cashflow... business owners need to take note of it.
Agricultural prices may soar again... and don't short the commodities prices.
5 Dec - 31 Dec 2022
Stock market will continue to be good but energy prices remain high after all the winter is here..
FOMC will hold the last Fed meeting on 13-14 December, and they need to conclude and review on the strategy of rising interest rates, had really suppress the inflation in any way.
