Ahead of the potential market correction,&nbsp;Brian Arcese&nbsp;from&nbsp;Foord Asset Management&nbsp;has highlighted concerns over the U.S. economic growth and corporate earnings. These factors could trigger a correction if they continue to slow down.
What Happened: Arcese warned that a market correction could occur if U.S. GDP or earnings growth slows. Arcese noted that the S&amp;P 500 has&nbsp;been &#8220;expensive for quite a&nbsp;while,&#8221; with a price-to-earnings ratio exceeding 27, CNBC <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/11/22/sp-correction-could-happen-if-gdp-or-earnings-growth-slows-says-asset-manager.html">reported</a>&nbsp;on Friday.
"We do think that a correction would be healthy, but you will need some type of catalyst for that correction to take place,&#8221; he said, highlighting two potential catalysts for a correction: slowing economic growth and inflation increases. 
U.S. GDP growth was less than anticipated in the third quarter, and&nbsp;inflation rose to 2.6% in&nbsp;October, as per recent data. He emphasized that high corporate earnings expectations, particularly outside IT and communication services, could also trigger a correction if growth slows.

Arcese remarked on the unusual combination of factors like GDP growth, earnings growth, and&nbsp;falling inflation and interest rates, which he described as rare. He noted that while utilities are more expensive than before, they remain less costly than the broader market, with growth driven by increased electricity demand from data centers and AI advancements.
Why It Matters: The concerns raised by Arcese align with recent warnings from other financial experts.&nbsp;David Einhorn, founder of Greenlight Capital<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/42087680/billionaire-investor-david-einhorn-calls-it-most-expensive-market-of-all-time-as-sp-500-gains-4-since-trumps-win-really-really-pricey">, recently labeled the current market</a> as &#8220;the most expensive of all time,&#8221; citing the high Shiller cyclically adjusted price-to-earnings ratio.
Similarly,&nbsp;Stifel&#8217;s&nbsp;Barry Bannister predicted a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40974512/stifel-warns-of-12-market-drop-by-end-of-2024-as-s-p-500-faces-high-valuations-and-speculative-r">12% market drop</a> by the end of 2024, driven by high valuations and speculative risks. The S&amp;P 500&#8217;s price-to-earnings multiple is nearing historic highs, reminiscent of previous market peaks.
Despite these concerns,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/11/42024472/goldman-sachs-us-to-dominate-2025-growth-with-2-5-gdp-boost-euro-area-will-struggle">Goldman Sachs&nbsp;forecasts </a>strong U.S. economic growth in 2025, with a 2.5% GDP boost, suggesting potential resilience in the face of current market challenges.
Price Action: As of Friday, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>, the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) that tracks the S&amp;P 500 closely witnessed a 25.60% increase in its year-to-date (YTD) returns while Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) saw a hike of 25.43%.

Insights From Analysts:
Powell's relatively hawkish tone has investors cautious in the markets. With the Trump trade losing steam, the focus is now on the President-elect's Treasury pick.
"In focus currently is President-elect Trump's pick for the influential post of US Treasury Secretary. Given the large US budget deficit, investors will probably want to see a safe pair of hands being chosen," ING analysts said in a note.
With the next rate cut now a coin toss, the U.S. dollar could see a correction. According to ING analyst Francesco Pesole, the dollar is "testing the limit" of its longs and traders should exercise caution for the time being.
"Powell seemed to put greater emphasis on the strength of the economy&nbsp;and how that allows the central bank to approach the upcoming policy decisions ‘carefully'."
CME Group's FedWatch tool <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">reflected</a> the fall in sentiment for another rate cut next month, with its probability declining to 59.6% from 72.2%.
&#8220;The case for a Fed pause in December is getting stronger and Fed officials are communicating that they are open to it going into the next meeting,&#8221; Kathy Jones, chief fixed income strategist at Schwab, said in a recent note.
&#8220;It will come down to employment and inflation data.&#8221;

The Starship&#8216;s many engines are isolated from each other, preventing the risk of one engine failure causing failure of all as in the case of the Soviet Union&#8217;s N1 rocket, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said on Thursday.
What Happened: &#8220;If engine failures are isolated from each other and the primary airframe, then more engines &#x2A;increases&#x2A; reliability,&#8221; Musk said in a post on social media platform X. &#8220;The problem with N-1 was that a failure of any engine caused failure of all.&#8221;

&mdash; Elon Musk (@elonmusk) <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1859667589817041394?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 21, 2024</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>

The Starship has often been compared to the Soviet N1 rocket owing to its large number of engines. Musk himself has admitted that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/05/32566212/elon-musk-reacts-to-comparison-of-starship-with-doomed-rocket-that-knocked-soviet-union-out-of-moon">N1 is the closest comparable rocket to Starship</a>. However, the Starship has 33 engines on its Super Heavy booster, even more than the 30 engines on the Soviet N1&#8217;s first stage.
About N1: N1 was aimed at enabling crewed travel to the moon. However, all four attempts to launch failed and the program was suspended in 1974.
The Soviets carried out a clandestine launch of the N1 on July 3, 1969, which ended up in a colossal explosion. This effectively knocked out the Soviet Union from the Moon race just days before U.S. astronauts walked on the surface of the moon.
About Starship: Starship is SpaceX&#8217;s most ambitious launch vehicle aimed at taking humans back to the Moon and Earth&#8217;s neighboring planet Mars. 
The company has conducted six test flights of the vehicle thus far but without a payload. The last flight test took place earlier this week and NASA is looking forward to taking humans back to the surface of the Moon after a gap of over 50 years with the help of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42108681/spacex-shows-off-conceptual-version-of-starship-which-will-help-humans-land-back-on-moon-in-over-50-yrs">custom version of Starship</a>.
