Will the Second-Half of 2022 Be Better than the First?

(6/30/22) Markets have chalked up the worst first-half of the year on record; history shows that stocks tend to do better in the second-half of the year...outside of a recession. Much of the recent economic data does not bode well for the economy heading into July, with the risk of recession increasing by the Fed's rate hikes and balance sheet reduction. Historically, if a recession hits, markets dip lower. And even though markets are down this year, so far, there is still more downside possible. There is also a strong possibility of a recession in earnings. It all boils down to earnings, valuations, and adjustments--and earnings have not been revised down enough to compensate for the risk of an economic recession. Our advice: Trade carefully, and use rallies to reduce portfolio risk.

Will June's End Provide Lift to Markets?

(6/29/22) Poorer than expected economic data triggered a market sell-off on Tuesday: The Richmond Fed Survey reported a big drop in all components, suggesting a recession is becoming a much higher probability. Similarly, the Philly Fed Manufacturing Index, the Dallas Fed indicators show pervasive economic slowing, thanks to tighter monetary policy, higher inflation, and higher interest rates. The Census Board's Consumer Confidence survey revealed big declines in street-level sentiment. Markets didn't like that, and fell to retest support at the previous lows of May. The hope now is that as June comes to an end, portfolio rebalancing and shuffling will provide a bit of a lift to markets.

What is Needed for Stable Energy Pricing is Stable Energy Production

(6/28/22) Calls for regulating Cryptocurrency are echoing our sentiments two years ago; Monday's market response was partially affected. This is not the bottom...yet. The Fed is "hard at work" fighting inflation, while should be focused on economic growth; inflation will cure itself. How the "bullwhip effect" will hurt. The problem with MMT and "free" money. House prices are falling as interest rates rise; we're seeing inflation's prelude to deflation; the effect on commodities & Dr. Copper. The Fed is in a trap, and using lagging data. The Fed is about to make a big policy mistake, hiking rates too fast instead of allowing inflation to take care of itself. But you can't fight the Fed. Fact Checkers' demands for censorship because their videos are garbage. Why does the Biden administration pattern its energy policy's after Germany's? How's what working out for them? What is needed for stable energy pricing is stable energy production (oil).

Can Markets Continue Momentum at Quarter's End?

(6/28/22) $30-Billion in rebalancing is at play this week as the end of June marks the end of the quarter, and fund managers have much to do in the way of "window dressing" prior to reporting their results by the end of the week. This has provided an upward bias to markets over the last few days, following last week's 6.5% rally. After essentially consolidating yesterday, S&P, Dow, and NASDAQ futures are positive ahead of the opening bell. Markets are expected to challenge the 20-DMA at the open, and above that there's resistance at the 50-DMA--the level at which markets consolidate back in late April. If the S&P can achieve the 4,000 level, that will be a good place to reduce risk in portfolios.

Will the Dust Settle This Week?

(6/27/22) Markets rallied 6.5% on the S&P last week--was that the bottom? We won't really know until the dust settles from this week, with a $30-B rebalancing act coming as the end of June marks the end of the quarter. This regular "window-dressing" parade will add more buying pressure to the markets ahead of the first two weeks of July--which tend to be strong performers, historically. Caveat: Seasonality hasn't worked out too well for markets this year...2022 has had one of the worst starts to the year since the 1930's. However, over-sold market conditions are turning up; there is some support remaining for a rally. The target is between 3,900 and 4,000 at the 50-DMA. We're seeing the same set up for June that we saw in May, when a rally wiped out most of the losses.

Have Markets Priced-in Recession?

(6/23/22) Fed Chair Jerome Powell's testimony Wednesday that he might have to create a recession to contain inflation roiled markets, and he's set for a second round today. Futures have been reversing early losses, and the question now is whether markets can keep it up. We contend that any rally should be sold-in to; selling pressure continues to appear in these rallies because of so many investors feeling trapped, looking for any relief. We're looking for markets to rally back to the 20-DMA and 50DMA, somewhere between 3,950 and 4,000. Markets continue to price-in what's going on economically, but have not yet priced-in a recession, nor the decline in earnings estimates that has to occur as the economy slows. In turn, prices will have to decline as adjustments are made for lower earnings. Similarly, yields have not yet priced-in a recession; we're looking for interest rates to fall sharply to 2-1/2%.

What Happens to Oil Prices After Big Spikes?

(6/22/22) Markets bounced 2% following a long weekend break. This morning's early morning sell-off may keep prices suppressed. Consolidations lead to failures and short-term increases, making it difficult for investors to make any returns. Oil prices are beginning to exhibit this behavior, too, down about 4% after big run up. We're looking for a bounce at about $96 to $100/bbl. As demand slows down as the economy weakens, the diminished demand for fuel will further weaken prices.

Are Markets near a Short-term Bottom?

(6/21/22) Last week's sell-off pushed markets down sharply, and markets tried to stabilize on Friday, ahead of the long weekend. As we produce this report, all indexes are showing the possibility of a bit of a bounce this morning. Markets are over-sold down to three standard deviations below the 50-DMA, putting more downward pressure on stocks as the average continues to slide. This and other indicators are at levels from which we should start to see a bounce. A reasonable retracement level would be right at the 3,900 to 4,000 point for a rally. We're suggesting that any rally be used to sell into to reduce risk and raise cash. A break above the 50-DMA will give you a shot at the 200-DMA. So long as the Fed continues to aggressively raise rates, keep a watch for indications of a breakout to the upside---something we don't expect to happen today.

Fed Hikes Rates 75bp - What now?

(6/16/22) Markets rallied on Wednesday despite a 75bp rate hike announced by the Fed. Then, overnight, traders sobered-up to the news that the Fed will be more aggressive in the future about raising rates additionally--not a good omen for strong economic growth. Markets are three standard deviations over-sold, and a short-term buy-signal failed to trigger. Markets continue to trade in a defined downtrend, and are now near the bottom of that range. Markets will have to hold support at this level in order to produce any kind of a short term rally over the next few days. Earnings estimates have yet to fall in reflecting the future impact of higher rates and diminished spending. Ongoing sell signals would indicate lower valuations to come. That being said, use any bounces we might get over the next few days to raise some cash and trim risks from portfolios.

What Happened to Cryptocurrencies?

(6/15/22) Cryptocurrencies were supposed to be the ultimate alternatives to Gold and the Dollar, but that hasn't worked out so well: Back in 2015 there was a big move towards crypto's as the new "digital gold," with the ability to combat inflation--which seemed to work well, so long as a continuous stream of liquidity into the markets was unabated. Bitcoin soared to the $70,000 range, but since has fallen dramatically to $20k as the premise of crypto becoming the replacement for Gold as a hedge against inflation has fallen apart, and the speculative nature of crypto has evaporated as losses mount. As in any speculative asset, when losses reach a certain, critical point, margin calls and negative sentiment are triggered, and liquidation events occur. We will not be surprised to see a significant reduction in margin debt in the next report from FINRA. Ethereum has similarly lost a tremendous amount of value, down 60% for the year. Have these assets lost all of their value? Not necessarily; but speculative investment assets will always exhibit spectacular booms and busts. The question remains--when will these find their bottom, and when will a more opportune time to invest in them become apparent? We are now seeing significant deviations from long-term moving averages, suggesting a decent tradable rally--but we'd recommend using that rally to liquidate weaker positions, reduce risk, and raise cash ahead of a better opportunity for a longer-term, positive trend in which to invest.

Should You Sell the Rip?

(6/14/22) Markets have officially declined more than 20%--the arbitrary measurement that defines a "bear market," but what does that really mean? (It's FELT like a bear market for the past several months!) Markets are not two standard deviations below the 50-DMA, a point from which markets have previously bounced. "Buy the Dip" is no longer in vogue--it's "Sell the Rip." The next level of resistance in the S&P will be at around 4,000; MACD and money flow indicators have reversed from "buy" to "sell" signals, all suggesting markets will go lower over the next few weeks. So, what's the difference between a "technical" bear market and a real one? That's when a previous, bullish trend of rising prices is broken and begins to trend lower. What matters is the perspective you use to view these trends. While markets ARE down 21% this year, from peak to trough, we are still above the 2020 market peak, and the 200-week moving average has been where markets have found bottoms--and that trend has remained positive. What we're seeing is not a bear market but a bull market correction. Markets are more over-sold now than at the bottom of 2020 and 2018. If markets go through a more normal correction, watch for the S&P to drop down to test the 200-WMA at about 3,500 or 3,400. As liquidity exits the market, things will revert to where they should have been over the past two years, in terms of valuation and earnings growth.

Will the Fed Be More Aggressive?

(6/13/22) Market Futures are sharply lower, with the Dow set to open in negative territory--which could be the low-point of the day. The hotter-than-expected inflation print released Friday is worrying investors that the Fed might move more aggressively in hiking rates in the near-term. That announcement comes on Wednesday, so markets are trading off ahead of the news. We expect the FOMC to follow thru on a 50-bp rate hike; of more interest will be the Fed's commentary for hints of subsequent actions later this Summer. Add to the mix a $3.2-T options expiration this week, and you've got a great recipe for market volatility. If markets open lower, we think it will trigger a MACD Sell-signal, unfortunately, since the Buy-signal was only recently established, with a subsequent rally; that rally is done. We believe it's best to use any intra-day rallies to lift exposure raise some cash--maybe even put in some shorts: If we break through market lows today, there is the likelihood of more downside in the near-term. Once we get past Wednesday's Fed announcement and Friday's Options Expirations, we can begin to think about what comes next. For the moment, the watchword is protect your portfolio.

The Coming Economic Devastation

Markets Stuck Ahead of Friday's CPI Report | 3:00 on Markets & Money

(6/9/22) Markets are essentially stuck ahead of Friday's CPI report. Wednesday's market party was spoiled by SEC Chairman Gensler pontificating on the end of Payment for Order Flow and creating more of a market auction type atmosphere--a move that would dramatically affect how Wall Street makes its money. The news pushed markets 1% lower by the close, which remained in a tight trading range, for a ninth straight day. The subsequent consolidation process is eating up the buy-signal octane, shrinking the gap between support and resistance. A breakout to the upside would allow markets to shoot towards the 200-MDA, but a break-out lower would re-test lows established last month. A hotter inflation number, and a more hawkish Fed next week would certainly add downward pressure to the market. Volatility, however, remains rather muted. When volatility increases, meaning the stock market is declining, the resulting sell-off would test those recent lows, a potential risk not to be ignored.

What to Do When Markets Are Stuck in a Trading Range| 3:00 on Markets & Money

(6/8/22) Markets have not gone much of anywhere over the past seven days; markets opened lower Tuesday, coming off support established last Monday, and closed up almost 1%, back towards the top of the trading range we've been in for the past week. The challenge is how to make some traction as the markets address three problems: Markets have rallied to the top of a trading range, which is at the same level as April & May bottoms; the current buy-signal is getting over-bought, and beginning to narrow; and as the 50DMA comes down to the top of the trading range, it creates another level of resistance; as markets continue to move sideways, more and more downward pressure is being applied. This is why we have been suggesting raising some cash--and we followed our own advice yesterday, building a short-market hedge if markets start to break to the downside, setting up a re-test of the lows of early May. With more and more economic indicators pointing to a slowing economy, and the Fed beginning to tighten monetary policy, there are plenty of reasons to remain concerned about market stability. But, if markets DO move to the upside, it's a simple thing to remove those hedges and put our cash back to work.

The Rise and Fall of "Free" Trades

(6/7/22) Investor fear vs Doing Anything About it: Why we're still not yet in a Bear Market--no one is really wiling to sell anything. Interesting dichotomy in latest NFIB report: Plenty of job openings, but no one is hiring.

Is it Time to Take Profits in Energy Stocks?

(6/7/22) Energy Prices have been on the rise for myriad reasons, including the Russia/Ukraine War, and an under-supply of domestic oil thanks to regulatory changes. The energy indexes have followed suit, up nearly 50% this year, while the S&P is down 14%--an amazing out-performance that historically does not last for long. So, it is time to take profits in energy stocks? Energy prices, as a proxy for energy stocks, are worth noting: Oil at $118/bbl is three standard-deviations above the 50-MMA of oil prices. That's a more than 4-year stretch of prices above long-term moving averages (remember, moving averages are averages for a reason: Prices had to trade above AND below that average over a period of time.) Just three years ago, energy prices were trading at a NEGATIVE, three standard-deviations BELOW that same 50-month moving average. In 2020 no one wanted to own energy stocks because they were in the tank; now, everyone can't get enough of 'em. The last time we saw this phenomenon was in 2008. With prices currently over-extended, and the economy going into recession, there are implications for a reduction in demand, and a consequential drop in energy prices from reduced demand and increased supply. Prices will revert--maybe not this month or the next--but now would be a good time to think about taking some profits in energy stocks off the table.

Dimon Warning Against "Economic Hurricanes"

With market sentiment so heavily negative, every rally should be sold in to. ESG investing exposed for the great money heist that it is: S&P Energy Index performance vs. anti-energy ESG funds. The ugly truth about the green movement; The need for gradual transition; current result is "greenflation." There is no such thing as "ESG." The best cure for high prices is high prices. Inflation is an imbalance in Supply/Demand dynamic. There is no stability in prices. The importance of skilled labor, irreplaceable by automation.

Downtrend Remains Intact

(6/6/22) Markets are set to rally this morning following Friday's sell off--the big question is whether the rally can be maintained? Markets are starting the week on a MACD Buy-signal, and are on the over-bought side, short-term, which could suppress any rally slightly. Markets are struggling with bottoms established in April, and also when Russia attached Ukraine. Additionally, the 50-DMA is rapidly dropping, following the downward trendline. There is much work to do as negative sentiment remains predominant. Also providing impact this month will be $3.2-Trillion options expirations, and the quarterly portfolio fund rebalancing dynamic; these factors could give a lift to markets. As long as the downtrend remains intact, we've got to use these rallies to sell-in to, raise cash, and be a bit more defensive. Meanwhile, the Fed will be tightening liquidity AND raising interest rates. Observing price action will provide clues as to where markets might go next.

Markets Fail at Resistance

(6/2/22) Markets sold off after Fed Governor Bostic walked-back his comments about a potential Fed pause later this Summer, which markets interpreted to mean a more aggressive Fed in hiking rates and reducing liquidity. The hope for a kinder, gentler Fed policy had been fueling markets. The good news is that markets are still on a "buy" signal, and the MACD is still positive. But markets still remain in an over-sold condition. Higher future this morning are suggesting a bit of a rally, right out of the gate...but sustainability of said rally will be paramount. The not-so-good news yesterday was that markets failed at a resistance level that goes all the way back to February of this year. As markets grind higher, they'll be eating up the buy signals in the process, limiting upside somewhat. Because prevailing sentiment remains bearish, that will give a bit of a lift to markets as some investors are caught in a short squeeze on some positions. We think this continues to be a sellable rally. Our strategy remains, as markets work through multiple levels of resistance, to use the opportunity to sell laggards and raise cash.

Could Markets Rally All the Way into Summer?

(6/1/22) We're seeing signs of a much stronger rally as we head into Summer months: There has not been a negative June in the markets since 2015; July also tends to be a stronger month in the Summer. Things are more dicey in August and September, but with markets under so much pressure the past two months, it would not be a surprise to see markets take off in the next two months. Markets tend to do the opposite of what everyone expects: With over 8,200 articles written on "the coming recession," the bear market, and lots of negative sentiment--consumer sentiment at levels reflecting proximity to market bottoms--markets tend to buck the trend. If markets can drive back up to the 4,300 or 4,400 levels, more bullish sentiment will reign. That will set up for the next leg of the bear market as the Fed tightens liquidity and raises interest rates. As economic growth slows further and stock prices begin to fall, that will be an opportunity to put cash to work.

No More Rate Hikes

(5/31/22) Markets prepare to wrap up May, and enter the final month of the Second Quarter, and how investors can take advantage; why inflationary pressures remain; how Washington's idiocy made inflation worse...and some Senators want to repeat the process.

Can the Rally Last?

(5/31/22) Markets are ending the month of May with a nice rally in the previous week--but can it last? There are still a lot of companies that are offsides in market allocations in terms of equities as well as in bonds--anyone with a 60/40 allocation is out of whack. Much of the remaining rebalancing will have to be accomplished in the final month of the quarter: June. Volatility, however, has not been suggesting the recent rally can stand. What are markets telling us? The bottom that has been building over the past several days continues to hold, allowing a triggering of the MACD buy signal. Markets are still in a very-defined downtrend; markets could rally back up to the 50-DMA--and if so, offer a great opportunity to reduce risk in portfolios.

Toughest Year Ever?

(5/30/22) As the markets go, so goes the year: The way we look at financial markets is very different from the way the Fed looks at financial markets. Keep in mind where we've come from, and where we are today: How inflation was created, and the mistake everyone made was that growth in the economy was organic...but in reality was fueled by all the liquidity that had been injected into the economy; the problem of not having an investing strategy.

How Much Room Does the Market have?

(5/26/22) Good news for markets as they try to establish a bottom and set up for a counter-trend rally. Stock prices peaked in March, and since then have had a tough time. The MACD signal has been in a downward trend, applying downward pressure to pricing at the same time. Wednesday's rally triggered a MADC Buy-signal for the first time in 8-weeks. Markets have been stabilizing and forming consistent bottom levels. With the MACD signal in place, money flow signals turning positive, and markets still over-sold, these elements suggest the potential for markets to get a lift. The Big Question is, how much room does the market have before running into the next level of resistance? Because the upside is limited, playing any rally must be done with caution. Where will resistance levels be? Perhaps the 20-DMA trend line; the 50-DMA has a little more room to run up to the 4,200 level in the month of June. After that, the 200-DMA, which would lift markets to previous peaks we saw in March. As we move to these levels, reduce risk as these rallies offer the opportunity.

Bonds Are Turning a Corner

(5/25/22) Bonds have started to turn a corner in recent weeks, picking up their non-correlation relative to equity prices--exactly what you want if you're using bonds as a hedge against a stock sell-off. Taking a look at interest rates for hints of where rates are heading reveals much about the economy, and where it's heading, as well. As slowing in April of the rate of growth of inflation allowed interest rates to rise, so did May's reports of slowing inflationary growth, causing rates to drop. Interest rates are now sitting on critical support, and if the decline continues, we're expecting a break of about 2.7% on the Ten-year Treasury rate...pushing rates into the 2%-ish range. The significance of this is, stocks and bonds are starting to price-in slower growth, rather than higher inflationary pressures. So what to do about a very large short-position in Bonds? There's a good possibility of lower rates and higher bond pries through the month of June.
