The Markets
Stocks closed mixed to end the week as traders took a breather heading into the three-day weekend in both Canada and the US. The S&P 500 Index was essentially unchanged, holding right around the 6100 hurdle that has acted as a cap to upside momentum in the past couple of months. The benchmark is managing to remain resilient above 20 and 50-day moving averages, despite the apparent loss of excitement to buy around present heights. 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.
