The Markets
Headlines that China is evaluating the possibility of starting trade negotiations with the US lit a fire under the equity market on Friday. The S&P 500 Index added 1.47%, moving beyond the declining 50-day moving average (5582) and reaching back towards the 200-day average (5746). There remains an implied cap over this market in the range between 5500 and 5800, corresponding to the upper limit of the cloud of major moving averages that was broken in March, that would likely require a catalyst to break (eg. progress towards a trade deal with China); without one, look for the sellers to step in around this zone. Indecision candlesticks around the declining 50-day moving average on Wednesday and Thursday lent itself to the suggestion of hesitation among investors, but the incremental positivity received from China’s announcement is placing the short-term recovery from the April lows into extra innings. We were enticed to use the strength over the past couple of sessions to start legging out of equity allocations heading into the offseason for stocks that begins at this time of year as we brace for the next evolution of the intermediate-term trend in the equity market that is still leaning negative. We continue to monitor the potential impact of the rotation in the market on our list of candidates in the market to Accumulate and to Avoid, but we have found rotation/buying candidates in recent weeks amidst this market tumult.
