As the SPY corrects a bit from the recent run-up to all-time highs, we still have keen eyes on other sectors.
Looking at four areas of the Economic Modern Family:
Retail XRT, Small Caps IWM, Regional Banks KRE, and Biotechnology IBB, are all up big since last October and are paused for a breakout over recent highs if
Thus far, the narrative remains more soft landing than anything else, while gold remains the mirror reflecting potential cracks
Hence, for equities we are recommending more patience especially ahead of the election.
The market is choppy and volatile
And we still see commonalities among the 2 Presidential candidates
Elsewhere,
Good news on Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) yet a run to resistance unless clears 260
Gold taking a pause but remains resilient
Silver big breakout over 32.50 now support
Palladium just had a huge run
Oil holding $70
Natural Gas looking better-watch the chart of LNG
Inflation is not going down, but not rising as of yet-it could but until it does, we believe that outside of current positions in gold and silver, commodity investing is also a bit premature
We have eyes on China.
After a huge run, many names like Alibaba (NYSE:BABA), are on pause awaiting softer US dollar and election results.
Tariffs are a concern; hence BRICS has moved forward but not yet impacting US markets.
While our models remain long the indices, we are advising our clients to sit back and wait.
Our current positions have protective stops in place while we wait in case the market has a more serious correction
Plus, I am advising clients to watch the ETFs (XRT, IWM, IBB, and KRE) rather than individual names for the next investments once the trading ranges are reconciled.
There will be no weekend Daily. Look for the weekly Outlook published on Sunday.
