The Markets
Stocks surged on Monday following the announcement of a 90-day pause on the most aggressive parts of the US tariff fight with China. The S&P 500 Index jumped by 3.26%, moving past a number of points of resistance, including the horizontal cap at 5650, as well as the 200-day moving average (5750). Coming into this session, there was an implied cap over this market in the range between 5500 and 5800 (corresponding with the span of the cloud of major moving averages that was broken in March) that required a catalyst to break (eg. progress towards a trade deal with China); this catalyst was quite obviously achieved. The benchmark is now knocking on the door of a minor point of horizontal resistance at 5850 (representing last November’s post election lows), but the big point of focus is obviously the all-time highs around 6100. The short-term trend stemming from the April low is positive, but the intermediate-term path (which is of most importance to us in our seasonal approach) remains under threat, particularly with nothing that burdened the equity market previous solved. The cloud of major moving averages (5500 to 5800) will now be looked towards to recoup levels of support, failure to do so would place the benchmark back into the threatening intermediate-term technical state that it was previous. Our list of candidates in the market to Accumulate continues to outnumber those that are worthy to Avoid, but, in the past week, we did find some areas that were worthy to downgrade as the risk of declines increase given the waning buying demand that had been apparent entering into this new week.
