When stocks are showing weakness, we can learn a lot by watching the credit markets.

And in today’s case, Junk Bonds and the ETF JNK.

Better yet, today we share 2 charts to better illustrate was is happening in the broader markets.

The first chart is the Junk Bonds ETF (JNK) on a “weekly” timeframe. As you can see, JNK is nearing its COVID lows and has fallen much lower than its June low. This has formed a bearish divergence with stocks, as several indices have yet to puncture the June low… or, if they did, it was very marginal.

The second chart looks at JNK versus the S&P 500 ETF SPY. This illustrates just how much further JNK has fallen when compared to stocks.

In summary, stock bulls do not want to play a game of catch up with junk bonds!
