The Markets
Stocks slipped slightly on Monday as an uptick in yields and appreciation of the US dollar placed pressure on equity prices. The S&P 500 Index closed down by nearly two-tenths of one percent, remaining stuck below short-term resistance at 5870. Support continues to be pinned at previous resistance of 5669, along with the 20-day moving average that is hovering around 5774. Despite evidence of waning upside momentum as we move past the period of seasonal volatility for stocks, this market is showing greater evidence of support than resistance, a characteristic of a bullish trend. We continue to like the groups that are on our growing list of Accumulate candidates, but there are certainly segments of the market to Avoid. The ability of the market, as a whole, to overcome the period of seasonal weakness for stocks rather unscathed is certainly telling of the relentless demand that has supported the benchmark, despite the fact that the risk-reward, broadly, is not very attractive. The start of the best six months of the year for stocks is slated to begin next week and there is a need from a seasonal perspective to ramp up risk exposure at some point.
