The Markets
Investors shook off concerns pertaining to the threat of another government shutdown in the US and geopolitical uncertainty, bidding stocks higher on Monday. The S&P 500 Index added half of one percent, moving above the gap that was opened at the start of last week around 6900. The benchmark has solidified a position above previous October gap resistance turned support around 6830, keeping us engaged with equity exposure until definitively broken. The lower limit of the previous narrowing range that we have been profiling for the past month remains broken and is showing hints of imposing a point of resistance. Prior to last week, the market was showing greater respect to levels of support than to levels of resistance, but recent price action threatens to flip this stance; should this become confirmed, looking to trim equity exposure will become prudent, bracing for the kind of volatility that is average around this time of year. In the Seasonal Advantage Portfolio that we oversee at Castlemoore, there have been no trades that were considered to be immediately required and we continue to benefit from our pro-cyclical stance. We continue to tailor towards the themes in our chart books to either Accumulate or Avoid that have been capturing the strength and rotation that has filtered into the market from the November 20th lows.
