Commodities slump helping US Stocks....

 US stock market saw back to back UP move in reaction to slumping commodities prices.

Lumber was the lead indicator of lower commodities prices

Lower commodities means lower inflation

Lower inflation means interest rates may not have to keep going higher and higher.

Oil related stocks also joined the bear slump in a hurry where every trader was hiding

SO...just about every sector has seen the bear market across the board

First to slump were travel related stocks, followed by technology stocks...

Technology stocks looks ready to come out of long 12 months slump......

Restart stocks have a very long way to go UP to make up for steepest loss.

Traders / Investors have been hurt badly and may have a long uphill task of recuperating two year of losses...

When there is fundamental reasons like COVID-19, inflation, recession and higher interest rate plus a long war....technicals are of no help....

Even my long followed RSI gave a constant sell and remained in sell zone for most stocks...

It IS going to be a long & drawn out recovery for most portfolio

It is good to stay with conviction & patience as an ongoing mantra....

Bear market comes and eventually goes away thus having a broad based diversified portfolio works whenever we have snap rallies.....

We may have entered a recovery phase in this bear market, which IS a welcome relief....

Good luck with your own strategy & comfort level.

US stock market testing patience & conviction.....

 US stock market is displaying rare bearish action for the last 6 months in a very defined manner.

BUT technology stocks have been slumping for 14 months straight, It has been taking turns since then.

Restart has been beaten down first due to COVID-19....longest slump since March 2019 BUT NOW it is fear of recession.....

Retail is in the rotation lately of deep slump

Financials are stuck in the mud....low interest rate or higher interest rates, nothing seems to help

Solar stocks goes through its pro Biden moment then quickly fades also

Materials are sliding like there is no tomorrow...

Cryptocurrencies are facing relentless redemption...

Oil stocks have joined the slider chorus....

Homebuilders have glut and shrinking pricing power.

Trouble with all of this IS...there is no place to hide in this market unless you are holding cash.....

Now the question IS

What should be done ?

Have less exposure

Well diversified portfolio

Lots of patience & conviction...

In my humble opinion, Technology should be the first one to catch a bid as they started falling first....

Rest depends on COVID and recession

COVID-19 keeps repeating its infectious cycle in China & many countries over & over..

Recession depths nobody knows....

Thus play safe with cash or limited exposure with mega dose of patience & conviction.

About market, TAPE was under tremendous selling pressure from Friday's CPI hangover plus new lockdown in China, IF that was not enough all Crypto currencies were taken down sharply to the tune of 25% due to liquidity issues, all support were taken out in all aspect of US market. IF we look @ internals, It IS clearly showing a " complete washout " which means we are very very close to end of this selling, a technical bounce is imminent.

US stock market & Fed meeting.....

 US stock market not only is displaying a bear pattern but is also behaving in a manner that is pointing to even deeper technical deteriorating behavior.

Bear market does not go down in a straight line and stays down which is the case now.

Inflation has gone totally out of control and no end is in sight, Food inflation, Gasoline inflation, Natural Gas inflation, Home price inflation, Mortgage Interest rate hike plus consumer lending rate all going UP & UP @ a fast pace....

Most World Central banks are panicking NOW and hinting that they will hike much more than traditional 25 / 50 basis points..75 or 100 is what being hinted....

World & US stock market was not ready for War, Inflation, Higher interest rates not to mention QT which stands for Quantitative Tightening which means liquidity will be drained out of system....

NO WONDER stock market has been down 10 out of 11 weeks, never happened since 1930's.

What to do about all this.....NOT MUCH

We are stuck in a market which is being pressured more and more by unusual events and there is no end in sight....

Traders / Investors have no choice but to suffer in near term

Fed meeting and its statement will be more hawkish ...Q & A will be more of the same....

How much of hawk talk is in the market only close will tell everyday, we seems to be closing @ lows most of the days.

We have no choice but to mark time and go through a very bad patch in the market.

Good luck with your conviction & patience.

About market, TAPE finished green which is a victory in this bearish environment, internals were mostly positive. Focus has shifted to CPI this week which is creating more jitters, is it going to be hotter than expected. Stay the course as market is trying to look @ all indicators as Fed is looking @ all data closely.

US stock market mixed bag.....

 US stock market can be best described as mixed bag.

US stock market is having serious reaction to interest rate jitters.

Uptrend is impacted by any news about more than expected rate hikes.

Market is looking for clarity in interest rate hikes which does not exist.

Ukraine news is getting more digestible to markets as grain shipment may resume

Here is the current read on RSI :

TAN         63.40

XLB         55.29

IWM        53.50

SOX        52.40

DOW      51.38

XLF        50.20

S&P 500 50.14

Nasdaq  48.83

JETS     46.58

ARKK   45.70

As you can clearly see that market has no real favorites currently, TAN or Solar stocks have fared well in this uncertain market, followed by XLB materials stocks.

Russell 2000 or IWM is 3rd favorite so far,

SOX has surprisingly fared much better than popular consensus is number 4th best performing.

DOW, Financials & S&P 500 are rated 5, 6 & 7

Bottom 3 are Nasdaq, JETS & ARKK.....

Nasdaq being 3rd worst is a huge surprise this late into recovery phase...

ARKK has the unique crown of being the most laggard

RSI rating is a good way to know that old ideas or popular ideas are not working and may be a waste of capital allocation

DOG of RSI may be a contrary way of investing or trading...

Lot to think about where we stand in terms of market preference and performance.

Good luck with your own interpretation of RSI and comfort level.

Making money is never easy in a bear market, losing lots of money happens in a hurry IF your allocation is out of favor.

About market, TAPE hesitated and went down on Fed member prediction that September interest rate hike is in place. After digestion of negativity June $$ allocation kicked in and we closed @ high of the day. Most stocks were UP in double digits reflecting deeply oversold condition. Its all about jobs report weaker number from ADP may prevail and stocks will like that.

About market, TAPE closed down after being all over the map, Jamie Dimon can take full credit for today's reversal as he was vocally bearish about US economy, in a very jittery market when so-called bulls turn bearish there is a shock / surprise element. Near bottom a bear market is very reactive like today BUT we shall recover.
