The Markets

Stocks lost early gains on Thursday as treasury yields pushed to new mufti-year highs.  The S&P 500 Index slipped by eight-tenths of one percent, once again putting the declining 20-day moving average to the test as a point of support following its early week breakout.  Gradually, a consolidation above this previous short-term variable hurdle is being realized, which is highly encouraging to suggest near-term stability returning to the market, lending itself to our view that we will see a retest of the declining 50-day moving average around 3900 in the weeks ahead.  Momentum indicators are still showing a path that is positively diverging from price, indicated waning selling pressures, typically a precursor event to a shift of the prevailing trend. A test of the declining 50-day moving average continues to be seen as a logical point to sell into, reducing equity exposure, so long as the negative intermediate path of lower-lows and lower-highs persists.  Ultimately, the large-cap benchmark is expected to remain within its broadening declining range into the end of the year with the upper limit of the span just below 4200 and the lower limit now hovering around 3300.
