Stock Markets Don't Reflect Recession Risk, Goldman Strategists Say
Sagarika Jaisinghani and Norah Mulinda - Bloomberg
Stock markets are in for a wild ride next year as they don't yet reflect the risk of a US recession, according to strategists at Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Deutsche Bank.
The team including Christian Mueller-Glissmann and Cecilia Mariotti said their model implies a 39% probability of a US growth slowdown in the next 12 months, but risk assets are only pricing in an 11% chance. "This increases the risk of further recession scares next year," they wrote in a note on Monday.

Stock market could see 'fireworks' through the end of the year as headwinds have 'flipped,' Fundstrat's Tom Lee says
Christine Idzelis - MarketWatch
Several headwinds that pummeled the stock market in 2022 have turned into tailwinds, setting the stage for a rally in U.S. equities heading into year-end, according to Tom Lee, head of research at Fundstrat Global Advisors.
"The Thanksgiving holiday has ended and now markets are entering the final key weeks of 2022," said Lee, head of research at Fundstrat, in a note Monday. "While many may be tempted to 'close the books' for the year, we think the final 5 weeks will be 'fireworks.'"

EU sets out plans to shift derivatives clearing from London to Frankfurt
Huw Jones - Reuters
Banks and other market participants in the European Union will have to prove to regulators that they are not overly reliant on clearing houses in London for processing their derivatives transactions, an EU draft document seen by Reuters showed.
The EU has long wanted to end heavy reliance on London-based clearing houses, such as London Stock Exchange Group's (LSEG.L) LCH, for clearing euro-denominated interest rate swaps, particularly now Britain is no longer a member of the bloc.

Cboe Derivatives Europe brings US market practices to the Bloc; Speaking to The TRADE, Cboe's head of European derivatives Louri Saroukhanov said the aim of the infant exchange offering was to alter EU market structure, not to grab market share.

Wall Street Whistleblowers Alert SEC to Stock Fraud But Hear Nothing Back
John Holland - Bloomberg
Janice Shell likes to sniff out fraud. An art historian by training, she once spent her days digging through Renaissance archives in Italy. Now 74, retired and living in suburban Philadelphia, she pores over financial filings instead. She hunts for sketchy penny stocks, then flags them in tart commentaries on message boards such as Investorshub.com. Shell has been remarkably prescient. In several cases, the US Securities and Exchange Commission later sanctioned companies she'd called out—and for the same reasons.

A tale of two stock markets: how London still trumps Paris for investors
Joice Alves, Vincent Flasseur and Samuel Indyk - Reuters
Paris' luxury-laden stock exchange is now worth more than London's. But although size matters, there are other indicators highlighting the UK capital's popularity with investors.
While the UK has seen a larger exodus from equity funds since 2020 than Paris, companies have raised more money in initial public offerings (IPOs) in London and more shares change hands in British markets every day.
