The Markets
Stocks closed lower on Thursday as profit-taking in Nvidia (NVDA) following earnings weighed on tech-heavy benchmarks that were attempting to show new life in just the session prior. End of month portfolio rebalancing was also a significant influence in the price action in this second to last session of February. The large-cap benchmark ended with a loss of just over half of one percent, closing the gap around the important 6900 pivot point that we have highlighted in our reporting; a failure around this zone would increase the likelihood of a downside resolution to our target of 6730, or the mid-December lows, during this normally weak timeframe in the equity market. While the short-term trend of the market is flat, capped by resistance at 7,000 and supported by levels around 6,780, an ultra-short-term view is showing higher-highs and higher-lows over the past week and a half. There is a suggestion of a flagging pattern as investors just meander around the flat-line (6900), not wanting to make the big swings above and below the mid-point level to the prevailing range. Traders are looking for a catalyst and, for now, Nvidia earnings do not appear to be providing an upside boost. So far, the period of volatility in equity markets that runs between the middle of February and early March has not amounted to much, highlighting resilience as prices trade sideways. In the Seasonal Advantage Portfolio that we manage for clients at CastleMoore, we continue to balance the near-term risk-reward in the market appropriately, barbelling low volatility plays with pro-cyclical/commodity oriented bets. Themes in our chart books to either Accumulate or Avoid continue to be appropriately dialed in to the trends that are working and intact.
