The Markets

Stocks edged higher on Wednesday as traders shook off minutes from the US Fed that expressed concern over the impact of tariffs on the economy.   The S&P 500 Index was up by nearly a quarter of one percent, closing at yet another fresh record high and maintaining levels slightly above the 6100 hurdle that 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 (MAG-7) 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.
