A Breakout On the Horizon?

August 20, 2018December 20, 2019 Paul McCarthy

Another options expiration Friday that pulled prices higher into the weekly close. Lots going on for summer trading with Turkey’s currency crashing and U.S. stocks trying to breakout to new all-time highs. Technology has been the laggard so that throws some caution into the wind as its benchmark index (NASDAQ) trended down to close the […]

Turkey MELTdown

August 11, 2018December 20, 2019 Paul McCarthy

I like to talk about macro risk as I think currencies, central bank policies and interest rates are the three legs of the risk stool that matter as central banks attempt to unwind their ultra-loose monetary policy instituted over the last decade. The “great unwind” is happening slowly but not without tremors like we saw […]

S&P 500 ETF - $SPY

High and Nigh

June 30, 2018December 20, 2019 Paul McCarthy

Sentiment in the stock market is swinging to the dark side as trade tensions are blamed for fowling up a “global synchronized recovery”. But is that type of stock market natural? Should all markets across the globe go up at the same time for years on end? Doesn’t that mean there is no diversity when […]

DOWn

June 23, 2018December 20, 2019 Paul McCarthy

A very choppy market this week with the DOW Jones Index leading the way lower while the Russell 2000 and NASDAQ made new all-time highs. The broader indices are in a divergent state which brings confusion to the overall health of the stock market. In my last issue, things looked promising but with the DOW […]

The U.S. stock markets continued to move higher as we move past the Q1 correction of 2018. However, there was a hiccup on Thursday as the Brazilian stock market dropped 8% in one day! Why? As U.S interest rates move higher there is a butterfly affect on emerging economies that link their currencies to the […]

June 2, 2018December 20, 2019 Paul McCarthy

A good close on Friday for the stock market after a tester on Tuesday that was caused by a dramatic rise in Italian interest rates.
