The Markets
Stocks sold off on Friday as ongoing uncertainty pertaining to tariffs, macro-economic concerns, and the identification of a new coronavirus had traders on edge. The S&P 500 Index closed lower by 1.71%, unable to hold support at the 6100 hurdle that acted as a cap to upside momentum over the past couple of months. The benchmark is back testing support at the 50-day moving average (6009), reflecting the apparent loss of excitement to buy around present heights and the neutral bias that is desired heading into the weekend. 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. A renewed MACD sell signal was triggered on the day as the momentum indicator crossed below its signal line. Downside risks on a pullback over the near-term are back to the July/August 2024 highs around 5700, a move that would amount to a 7% pullback from recent heights.This would be a healthy and ordinary correction within a bull market by any measure. 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.
