Flashback To The 70’s
Global equity markets had a moment of self doubt and most country ETFs backed off after digesting lower rates in the US. The thinking behind the tepid market response had some logic as the Fed stated they were concerned about an economic slowdown.
It’s Not (WE) Working
Global equity markets continued their climb with the S&P 500 hitting new all time highs on Thursday before backing off. Small Caps and value stocks roared, ended the week up almost 5%, ignoring a massive correction in U.S. Treasuries.
All Clear...Maybe
Virtually all global equity markets rallied, led by Mexico in the Americas, Korea and China in Asia, and Russia in Europe. The theme here is that weak performers and energy exporters found buyers.
The Impact Of More Tariffs And Negative Rates
US equities bounced off some key support levels late last week. However, the S&P 500 still closed down for the month and It took all of August to digest a nasty sell-off that hit the first few days.
“Risk Off Is Back On”
U.S. Stock indexes gave up all the gains made in July in just a few days, led by the Nasdaq 100 which dropped -4.07% for the week.
Changing Of The Guard
US Stock indexes made impressive gains this week , +2% ( give or take) , as long as one ignored the Dow industrials which managed to stay positive. Boeing dragged the Dow down.
Appearance, Reality And Dichotomy
Despite the attention-grabbing headlines of the S&P 500, NASDQ 100, and the Dow industrials all hitting new all time highs early this week, stocks closed down by Friday and the Dow (DIA) had a bearish engulfing pattern.
Soft Commodities Firming
The US Equities market continued its melt up +.75%, on average, hitting new all time highs in three out of key benchmarks while interest rates sold off hard after a dismal bond auction.
All That Glitters - Sunday, July 7
The performance of US Equities markets was strong, up over +2% on average for the week. Meanwhile IWM confirmed a bull phase on excellent volume. Gold sold off Friday but held onto its breakaway gap put in a few weeks ago and still strongly in play.
Is Grandpa For Real
The US Equities markets was a mixed bag as the Dow, NASDQ 100, and the S&P 500 closed down on the week. Meanwhile the IWM which has been lagging since the fall of 2018 came alive Friday, rallying +1.6% and closed in an unconfirmed bullish phase.
A Golden Market Memo?
US Equities markets digested gains from early June and ended the weekup about +.6% on average. The message is mixed with cyclical sectors not following the key indexes price performance. Emerging markets submerged while soft commodities firmed.
Not Your Ordinary Black Swan
This month, US equities suffered one of their worst Mays on record and it's something not to ignore. Risk Gauges remain 100% negative and getting worse.
Geo-Political Stress And A Bear Flag
US Equities got hit yet again, led by Grandpa Russell, (IWM​) which tanked -2.4% on week. The trade war with China escalated, as did tensions with Iran which sent Oil (USO) up almost +2%. Stocks went into a nasty retreat on a global basis.
Just A Tweet Away
US equities got hit hard, down -2.5% on average as the tariff war escalated. It sent stocks into a nasty retreat globally. China got hit the hardest down -6.55%; there wasn't a single Global Equity index that had a positive return this week.
Grandpa Russell (IWM) Awakes
Equities markets put in a respectable week as Fridays action turned things around from what was looking like a key reversal pattern. IWM was up almost +2% on Friday and +1.4 % on the week.
Housing Starts Stopping
One of the better leading economic indicators is housing starts and that dropped sharply in March. This followed a big drop in February where the market was expecting a large increase. Overall, housing starts are sitting at two-years lows.
