The Markets
Stocks closed mildly lower on Tuesday as the period of volatility/weakness for stocks begins. The S&P 500 Index closed down by just less than two-tenths of one percent, ending right around the 20-day moving average (5550) that was broken into the end of last week. Momentum remains near-term negative following last week’s decline, but the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is attempting to hold levels around the 50-line in order to keep characteristics of a bullish trend intact. A short-term downside gap remains open between 5622 and 5658, a zone that will act as the cap to the summer rally that has now past its average peak. The time is here to prepare portfolio strategy for the period of volatility for stocks that runs through the next three months.
Today, in our Market Outlook to subscribers, we discuss the following:
- Small Caps and Banks reaching towards the upside targets that their recent breakouts have suggested
- US Existing Home Sales
- The bifurcation that is playing out in the commodity market and the need to scrutinize the stocks of producers
