S&P 500 was slated to rise either yesterday or today, as the discussed barrage of tightening and worsening real economy news drove asset prices inordinately lower on Friday too. Monday‘s feeble upswing wasn‘t restored after the open, and steady deterioration breaking through 3,850 opened the gates to 3,815 and potentially 3,780s then. Japanese jitters didn‘t help.

Today‘s picture is shaping up brighter even as stocks languish close to the unchanged mark. The European session has gone well. The ingredients for an upside surprise driven by unyielding crude oil, and sharply rebounding silver (followed a bit too tamely by copper) while gold is looking fine on a daily basis, bode well for stocks today and later this week (chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com). If you want to play this short-term rebound, make sure you don‘t overstay the welcome, and lock in open profits via frequently updated trailing stop-losses.

Keep in mind the bigger picture till the year's end. Very much looking forward to returning to the usual frequency, scope, and presence as of Jan 02, 2023! Thank you for your patience, and have a blessed day ahead!
