The Markets
Stocks closed up on Monday, shaking off concerns pertaining to an escalation of a tariff war following news over the weekend that Donald Trump will implement a 25% tax on steel and aluminum imports coming into the US, as well as reciprocal tariffs on goods from other countries that have implemented this restrictive trade measure. The S&P 500 Index gained by two-thirds of one percent, continuing to gyrate above support at the 20-day moving average (~6020). The benchmark remains below a short-term cap at 6100 as broader momentum dwindles. Momentum indicators have negatively diverged from price since the middle of last year, highlighting the waning enthusiasm investors had been expressing towards tech-heavy benchmarks, like this, amidst extreme valuations. We continue to monitor the potential impact of the apparent rotation in the market on our list of candidates in the market to Accumulate and to Avoid and we have adopted more of a neutral stance as segments that were previously noted as Accumulate candidates fall off (eg. Technology) and as areas to Avoid are added.
