The Markets
Stocks closed slightly lower on Thursday as investors reacted to some hawkish Fed speak that sent treasury yields higher. The S&P 500 Index ended down by just less than three-tenths of one percent, continuing to digest the gains from the past week. Horizontal support at 3900 was tested at the lows of the session and buyers stepped in to defend the level as we head into a seasonally positive time of the year with the US Thanksgiving holiday next week. The short-term trend of the market remains positive, supported by its rising 20-day moving average. Momentum indicators are showing the same, rising back above their middle lines in the past week and attempting to relinquish the bearish characteristics that have plagued the the benchmark all year. The span between 3850 and 3900 remains an important zone of support.
Today, in our Market Outlook to subscribers, we discuss the following:
- US Thanksgiving Week tendencies for stocks and how we are positioning for the positive timeframe ahead
- US Housing Starts and the seasonal trade in the home builders
- Philadelphia Fed Manufacturing Index
- Weekly Jobless Claims
- Canada CPI and using the market performance of 1981/82 as a blueprint of what to expect moving forward
