The Markets
Stocks rallied on Tuesday as traders shook off of a hotter than expected read of inflationary pressures for April and focused on the rebirth of the meme-stock craze. The S&P 500 Index added around half of one percent, knocking on the door of the all-time high that was charted at the end of March around 5264. The rising intermediate-term trend of the benchmark remains well intact, supported by the 100-day moving average, now at 5020. The 20-day moving average is back on the rise, adding a positive bias back to the short-term trend of stocks as we progress further into the off-season for this asset class that began just over a week ago. Until this market shows greater evidence of resistance than support, reason to maintain a bullish bias of stocks exists. particularly in those groups that we have been advocating to Accumulate in our weekly chart books (see our list of market segments to Accumulate or to Avoid).
Today, in our Market Outlook to subscribers, we discuss the following:
- The return of the meme-stock craze, creating some euphoria in the market, and how we are benefiting in our list of Accumulate candidates
- Producer Price Index (PPI), what is driving inflationary pressures, and how to play the themes that are proliferating in the producer economy
- Commodities and inflation hedges
