Uncertainty is the New Certainty

May 20, 2019 /in /by

Markets found some footing last week after a multi-week slide. However, futures are pointing to a drop yet again, presumably because of the most recent Trump Tweet regarding Iran. So flip a coin. The SPX found a decent amount of support at the 2800 level. There also appears to be a decent amount of resistance […]

The Tariff Tantrum

May 6, 2019 /in /by

Markets are bracing for a drop after the weekend announcement that tariffs on Chinese goods are not only back on the table but bigger than before. What this translates to for the markets is uncertainty. For the past couple of months the China trade negotiations were largely an after-thought. This brings things back to the […]

In fact, the SPX is more than 1.5 standard deviations above its 21-trading-day average. It’s above the 50, 100, and […]

No Man’s Land

If you’re looking for some kind of directional indication from the short-term, the markets aren’t hearing it. Since the Christmas Eve lows of last year, this market has been on a tear… until the last two weeks or so. Now it seems escape velocity is waning. Each time the SPX hits 2800 momentum seems to […]
