The Markets

The rising trend for stocks continued on Friday as investors reacted positively to the stronger than expected increase in payrolls for the month of October.   The Bureau of Labor Statistics indicates that 531,000 payrolls were added last month, which was stronger than the consensus analyst estimate that called for a rise of 450,000.  The unemployment rate improved from 4.8% to 4.6% and average hourly earnings jumped again by 0.4%, which was inline with forecasts.  Stripping out the seasonal adjustments, payrolls actually increased by 1,558,000, or 1.1%, in October, which is almost double the 0.6% increase that is average for this tenth month of the year.  The year-to-date change continues to hold an above average pace and is now higher by 3.9% through the first ten months of the year.  The average change in payrolls through this point in the year is an increase of 0.7%.  We sent out further insight to subscribers intraday, including how we’re taking advantage of the trends contained with this report.  Subscribe now.

Total Nonfarm Seasonal Chart

The S&P 500 Index added nearly four-tenths of one percent, reaching back to trendline resistance that the benchmark pulled back from in the month of September.  The trend from the past month has started to develop a parabolic tilt, implying an unsustainable path, as momentum indicators increasingly become overbought.  A check-back of rising moving averages at the 20 and 50-day moving averages remains reasonable and healthy within the context of bullish intermediate to long-term trends.  Beyond the first week of November, the market tends to soften a bit, on average, providing a breather ahead of the next uptick on the seasonal timeline surrounding the US Thanksgiving holiday at the end of the month.  This softer period is more of something to be aware of rather than something to trade given that it would be pure speculation to suggest when and by how much a pullback will play out.  We have been and remain 100% long equities, a position we have held since the end of September.
