The Markets
Stocks sold off in the first session of the new week as a rate shock sent equity investors to the exits. The S&P 500 Index closed down by 2.00%, reaching down to psychological and rising trendline support at 4000. A cloud of moving averages is directly below in the range between 3900 to 4000, a zone that is viewed as a likely first stop in this near-term pullback. Momentum indicators remain on sell signals following bearish crossovers that were recorded a week ago Friday. Altogether, the price action is very much inline with what is average for the month of February when early month strength is typically offset by back-half weakness and the rate concerns ignited in recent weeks merely provides the catalyst to realize this normal pullback in what has historically become a month of rising volatility. Stocks typically reach a low around the start of March before the next seasonal upleg begins, carrying the market higher, on average, through the month of April, ahead of the contribution deadline for investment retirement accounts (IRAs).
