Bombs Away
The S&P 500 closed under its 50-day moving average, and down -1.22%, right on its lows for the week. it’s the lowest close since mid-February. The deterioration of the Trump bump trade is palpable.
Let Sleeping Sharks Lie
The S&P 500 ended Monday flat and the week positive +.80%. It fulfilled prophecies of more volatility ahead, the by-product of the recent 109-day streak of extremely docile, bullish price action finally being broken.
Skeptics And Upcoming Pyro Technics?
The 109 day streak of S&P 500 trading without a correction of greater than 1% finally broke. The last time the S&P 500 had a streak greater than this duration was in 1963, which ended on March 1st of that year and endured for 155 days.
Uneasy Markets, Uneasy Alliance
U.S. equities mostly inched their way forward this week, digesting another rate hike of .25% by the Federal Reserve. In fact, after the hike, rates dropped and equities rallied. The dollar dropped as well.
Hiddenburg? Maybe Not
Market breadth is eroding with the last leg of the rally. In fact, the Hindenburg Indicator (which looks at new highs versus new lows) is flashing red.
Snap, Crackle And Pop
Wall Street’s newest IPO and darling is Snapchat. Investors (I’m using the term lightly here) clamored to get in on the hot new app, which now has a market cap of about $ 31 billion.
This Market Takes Lessons From A Chameleon
The current bull market has been very adept at changing its look with Chameleon like skills to enable new sectors provide opportunities and endurance to further its climb.
A Melt Up And A Melt Down
US Equities took a cue from events in Asia this week as the bulls murdered the bears in a very public show. The market is on a post-election tear not seem since LBJ took office, with the benchmark S&P 500 + 1.5% on the week and over 5% YTD.
Shark Tank
The gains this month are confounding skeptics and quants who count on February for being one of the weakest performing months of the year. This month is not over of course and anything can change on a dime.
Is Mr. Market’s Head In The Clouds?
Mr. Market has a tendency to become optimistic when the calendar year gets off to a good start like we’ve seen in 2017.
Bull Market Dancing On A Pin Head
This past week the 4 key US equities ushered in the new president with a net neutral overall response. The Nasdaq 100, the lead index over the past month, continued its trek higher with the IWM lagging after a blistering post-election rally.
Divergent
The US Equities Market paused this week after an almost 200 point intraday shakedown in the INDU on Thursday. Equities recovered and essentially left prices where they started the week.
The Exponentially Larger Chicken Little
Sentiment indicators such as the VIX continue to signal a total lack of fear. The market approaches irrational exuberance but hasn’t gotten there yet. Key relationships such as stocks versus utilities are still in gear.
Hunting Season
The big news this week is that the Hawks at the Fed are circling the market. Hawks are raptors, carnivorous hunters. Will exhausted and weakened stock bulls be the special on the menu in 2017?
A New Episode
Volume indicators are showing distribution in the Nasdaq 100. FANG stocks and semi-conductors led the retreat with the exception of Netflix.
Meet The New Normal
Markets are showing us that this is a win for the US and not so much for anyone else. Interest rates have risen dramatically as has the US dollar over the past two weeks. The Russell 2000 is up over 13 % since November 7.
