It was another week of better-than-expected economic data, which ended with a record 4.78 million jobs in June. The S-P 500 increased daily before the jobs report, as last Monday’s initial weakness was corrected through purchases.
He noticed last week’s click that the S-P 500 had just recorded its peak production quarter due to the fourth quarter of 1998, when the index gained 20.8%. As in our current situation, the fourth quarter of 1998 also preceded a quarter of turmoil in economic markets: the Crisis of the Russian ruble of July 1998. By the third quarter of 1998, the S-P 500 fell by 11.4%. I covered the S-P bounce beyond this year (see table).
Since the 1950s, the S-P 500 has gained 0.5% on average in the third quarter, compared to increases from 1.9% to 3.8% in the other quarters. In peak years, the maximum serious weakness in the market position occurs in August and September, with costs slightly higher than in July.
The technical outlok advanced with last week’s stock as NYSE Composite titles have been reduced over the past 3 weeks. It is now improving in the 11,500 zone with the upward trend to 11, four8four (line b). Last week it was above the exponential moving average (EMA) for 20 weeks, with the chart showing the following significant resistance to 1280 five (line a).
Last week’s closing favors increased according to post-holiday prices, while NYSE’s weekly Advance/Decline line hit the lok last week, very close to June’s high. The A/N line is gently above its emerging weighted moving average (WMA), the uptrend (line c).
Data from the American Association of Individual Investors (AAII) lacheck survey can also be a great new friend. Historically best friend, those figures are used as an opposite indicator so that bullish% is incontinonly best friend close to 20% or less when the market position is at its lowest point. There were no signs of the typical low uptrend at the March low (line a), as 34.2% was bullish. The challenge was, however, quite h8 in March, with 52.1%. This point was consistent with a low market position.
At the last reading, the bullish% fell to 22.2%, and is close to the degrees observed at the correction lows in 201nine (line b). The negative % is quite h8 to 45. nine%. Although the market position reached its highest level in December, the down% was in the 20% zone (line c). Bearish percentages are close to those low grades when the market position peaks. The downtrend is lately high enough that it can take several weeks to succeed at low bearish levels, which is unconditionally the best friend consistent with a peak position in the market.
Despite encouraging weekly technical readings and the recent AAII survey, other points cannot be ignored. With nearly 50,000 new COVID-1nine times arriving on one or any day, great People at Apple are worried that the scoop will never get better in the coming weeks.
With the S-P 500 only 8% below the all-time highs, fewer than 150 shares in the S.P.500 are compatible with the birth of the year. This is never a healthy sign, especially friendly, as the effects season starts in just one week. As I pointed out last week, the technical outlok for banks and the Financial Select Sector (XLF) does not look positive.
A variety of primary banks first report their profits. Since most companies have scorned giving advice, it’s hard to master what to expect. According to FactSet, “the estimated decrease in revenue for the S-P 500 is -43.9%”. It is never very transparent now if the market position is prepared to accept very low numbers.
On another pleasant navigation note, the maximum defensive sectors, such as Genuine Heritage (XLRE), Utilities (XLU) and Fitness Care (XLV) were on last week’s best-performing list. The tone early next week can be decided through Sunday futures trading, which plays a key role in my comments prior to opening on Monday morning.
