Headline-Driven Markets Will Continue
I am expecting a choppy, headline-driven, sideways market between now and the November elections. I still plan to buy the dips for short-term gain, but over time I plan to continue to reduce my overall exposure to stocks.
Choppy Sideways Market Ahead
Expect a choppy, headline-driven, sideways market between now and November. Higher rates are now a headwind for US stocks. The recent tax cut, $300 billion spending increase and federal deficit are a set up for a dangerous spike in interest rates.
The Market Will Be Trading Sideways
The Dow indexes look healthy, and they both continue to trade above their rising 40-week averages.
A Short-Term Uptrend?
Anytime that short-term yields exceed longer-term yields, it is time to get very cautious regarding stocks. Some people think that the current bull market is in the clear until we get this inversion again.
Higher Rates Are Now A Headwind For US Stock Market
The recent tax cut, the 300 billion spending increase, and the already out-of-control federal deficit are a set up for a very dangerous spike in interest rates.
Will Participation Be Enough?
Now we watch to see if market participation broadens out beyond Technology.
The Market Is Setting Up For A Run At The January Highs
It looks like the market is setting up for a run at the January highs. There is still plenty to worry about, but the issues have flushed out the excessive bullishness.
Maybe The Market Could Use A Little More Time To Consolidate?
If Mueller-related headlines get closer to the White House, then they would probably hurt stocks and help bonds.
When Selloffs Are Buying Opportunities
I like to buy large caps and ETFs during the periodic major market selloffs. You get two or three of these opportunities per year. The strategy works as long as the general market is rising.
Treasuries Have Sold Off As Rates Have Been Rising
The 30Y Treasury Bond price is breaking down (yields up, prices down). Prices recently broke important support, and are now just below the 100-month trend.
The Short-Term Trend Continues To Point Higher
The semiconductors attempted to break out today, but were turned back by the broad based selling in the general market.
Higher Rates Are Now A Headwind For US Stocks
The SPX is consolidating near the 50-day average, and so far it looks like the kind of market action that builds a new base. I wish I had more to offer.
Bond Funds Are Breaking Down
Higher rates are now a headwind for US stocks. The recent tax cut, the 300 billion spending increase, and the already out-of-control federal deficit are a set up for a very dangerous spike in interest rates.
Higher Rates Are A Headwind
At some point we'll get a significant bounce, but it will be difficult to exceed the January high anytime soon. I am wondering if the NYSE has seen the high for this bull market?
Caution And Defensive Strategies
The market may struggle for awhile before starting another short-term leg lower in order to really shake out the over-confidence.
A Reversal Day Often Marks The Short-Term Bottom
Higher inflation and higher rates are now a headwind for US stocks.
