The Markets
Stocks closed higher on Wednesday in what was a volatile session amidst headlines that the president was moving closer to firing Fed Chair Jerome Powell. The S&P 500 Index ended up by around a third of a percent, remaining in a tight short-term consolidation span between 6200 and 6300. Support at the cloud of major moving averages remains well defined, including the 20-day moving average (6169), a variable hurdle that has been unviolated throughout the bull-market rally from the April lows. Until some of the implied levels of support start to crack, this market still has the appearance of having an easier ability to excel above levels of resistance than to fail below levels of support. While overbought signals have triggered according to various metrics in recent days, this should be viewed as a sign of strength given that market participants continue to desire putting funds to work around these heights. Our list of candidates in the market that are worthy to Accumulate or Avoid continues to be appropriately positioned, keeping investors tuned into those segments of the market that are working in such areas as in the Technology, Communication Services, Financials, and Utilities sectors.
