The Markets

Stocks closed in the red on Tuesday as traders returned to their desks following the long weekend to take down risk in their portfolio amidst a jump in the cost of borrowing. The S&P 500 Index closed lower by four-tenths of one percent, maintaining levels below its 50-day moving average that was broken in the past week. Momentum indicators remain in decline, but, in a point of encouragement, the negative expansion of the MACD histogram has stopped, hinting that traders may be becoming more comfortable with prices where they have fallen to. The Relative Strength Index is testing rising trendline support that underlines the lows of the year, hinting of the fading of selling pressures after a tough first half of the year. Following the significantly overbought reading according to this metric at the peak of the summer rally in August, it would be rare to see these metrics of momentum immediately revert back to their bearish characteristics seen earlier in the year. We still desire to see the turn before putting capital at risk and are more than content sitting with our conservative positioning in the Super Simple Seasonal Portfolio, which continues to strongly outperform the market.
