The Markets
Stocks ended mixed on Monday as investors closed the books on a profitable month for major market benchmarks. The S&P 500 Index shed a third of one percent, still holding above the upper limit of the prior consolidation span between 7250 and 7620 that the benchmark broke out from at the start of August. A short-term bull-flag pattern continues to be charted, suggesting further upside to be expected. The benchmark can be seen holding around short-term support at its 20-day moving average (7716), keeping the ball in the bulls court heading into the month of September. The market is showing a lot of respect to levels of support, warranting a bullish tilt heading into what is often a volatile period for equity performance in the month of September. Daily momentum indicators have started to curl higher around their middle lines, retaining characteristics of a bullish trend. In the Seasonal Advantage Portfolio that we manage for clients at CastleMoore, we continue to hold an elevated exposure to stocks, aligning with the optimism that the manufacturing economy is expressing. The period of volatility in the equity market through the weeks ahead could start to impose some erratic results, but there is some leeway on the calendar before the peak period of weakness rolls around starting in the middle of September.
