The Markets
Stocks reversed on Friday, closing down on the session, as a much weaker than expected read of employment raised concerns pertaining to the health of the economy. The S&P 500 Index ended down by just less than a third of one percent, holding above short-term support around the 20-day moving average (6444), but showing struggle to achieve incremental new buyers around the 6500 zone. Momentum indicators are still showing negative divergences versus price where lower-highs below July’s overbought extremes have been charted for RSI and MACD. The result gives strong evidence of buying exhaustion, once again lending itself to the onset of a digestion of prices aligning with the period of volatility for the equity market. As has been emphasized, this is the time to be on your toes given the well known volatile period that this time of year is notorious for. As equity markets destabilize from their summer strength, looking for opportunities to peel back risk in portfolios has become appropriate in order to mitigate the erratic moves that impacts stocks in the final months of the third quarter (August/September). The strategy remains to avoid being aggressive in risk (stocks) in the near-term, but take advantage of any volatility shocks (should they materialize) to increase the risk profile of portfolios ahead of the best six months of the year for stocks that gets underway in October. Our list of candidates in the market that are worthy to Accumulate or Avoid continues to be dialed in appropriately, keeping investors tuned into those segments of the market that are working according to our three-pronged approach incorporating seasonal, technical, and fundamental analysis.
