The Markets

Stocks rebounded on Monday as concerns pertaining to escalated tensions between Israel and Iran alleviated, resulting in a giveback of the surge in the price of Oil that was revealed into the end of last week. The S&P 500 Index closed higher by 0.94%, erasing much of Friday’s decline, but remaining within the band of resistance between 5900 and 6100. A negative divergence of MACD and RSI that has been recorded since May 20th highlights upside exhaustion, lending itself to a pullback that is quite normal, regardless of the reason, at this time of year. Support at the 20-day moving average (5948) is an important line in the sand to the short and intermediate-term trend. The first of the two timeframes that account for the bulk of the weakness for the offseason for stocks is upon us, running from June 14th to June 27th (see our comments below), therefore adding new risk exposure at this point is not opportune, but things look setup to provide opportunities to add risk exposure before the month concludes. Our list of candidates in the market that are worthy to Accumulate or Avoid remains appropriately positioned, keeping investors tuned into those segments of the market that are working, while highlighting those groups that are not.
