Weekender for 5/15
1. Market Summary
Stocks Sell Again
– Stocks sell again, though it was not the ugly start needed. Instead, it stretched the third leg to match the earlier one.
– Indices dip again and rebound. Meanwhile, the fact that volume is higher means that they are in position to bounce.
– The Producer Price Index (PPI) is not as nasty as the Consumer Price Index (CPI), but not great either.
– The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) are saying that there is plenty of product, but they can’t get it out.
– Some key sectors are ready to bounce.
Another day, another downside move. But there was a bit of upside — just a bit — in some growth indices. Even so, it was not the textbook session we wanted, i.e.,, more sharp downside on the open. Futures fell after the PPI was revealed, but they were rebounding into the open and continued upside into 11:00 a.m. EST.
At that point they rolled over, sold to session lows in the mid-afternoon and then rebounded sharply into the close. Sure, that was likely short covering, given the sharp drop on the week and some profit-taking late last session. Even so, the market did put in that additional selling, it just took another drop after the early rebound as discussed in the pre-market alert. That left the indices with dojis on the candlestick charts. So, we will see if this intraday extension of the third downside leg off “the March bear market is over” relief rally.
