The Markets
Stocks slipped again on Friday as the US president weighed in with fresh tariff threats on Apple and the European Union. The large-cap benchmark closed down by two-thirds of one percent, continuing to react to a band of resistance between 5900 and 6100, effectively the all-time highs. The short-term rising trend stemming from the April lows remains that of higher-highs and higher-lows, but a break of the 50-hour moving average during Wednesday’s session suggests that the good times has come to an end and a digestive period heading into the end of the second quarter is commencing. Upside gap support around 5700 is the critical level to watch over the short-term timeframe given a violation of the implied level of support would lead to a resumption of the strains that the intermediate-term trend have been portraying since the start of the year. We continue to like the way our list of candidates in the market to Accumulate or to Avoid is positioned (although some adjustments identified below will be sought) and we remain on the lookout for new opportunities, either on the long or short side, heading through this off-season for stocks. On the seasonal timeline, the foreseeable threat to stocks is the mean reversion move lower that is common through the middle of June as quarter-end portfolio rebalancing is enacted. In the meantime, the Super Simple Seasonal Portfolio is effectively mitigating the stresses leaching into the market, maintaining the appropriate risk profile given the fundamental influences of the day and the seasonal dynamics that play out between May and October.
