    Morning Lineup - 12/9/21 - Then Again
    Thu, Dec 9, 2021

    After a strong start to the week, investors are taking a step back from buying this morning as futures are firmly negative and have been gradually weakening all morning. Following big losses right after Thanksgiving and then a sharp rebound over the last week, investors can't seem to make up their minds.

    The biggest news item of the day so far has been initial jobless claims which fell to an unheard of 184K which was well below the already low estimate of about 225K. As equities pull back, treasuries have been rallying with the 10-year yield back below 1.5%. The big economic data in the US will come tomorrow with the release of November CPI, but overnight in China, CPI came in weaker than expected on a y/y basis (2.3% vs 2.5% forecast).

    What a difference a week makes. Looking at how sector performance has changed over the last week provides a perfect illustration of indecisiveness in the equity market. The first snapshot below is from our Trend Analyzer from a week ago today (through the close on 12/1). At the time, every major index ETF was down at least 2.5% over the prior five trading days with the majority below their 50-day moving averages after trading at or near overbought levels just a week earlier. Mega-cap indices like the Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) and S&P 100 (OEF) were holding up best at the time while small and mid-cap stock indices were down over 7% in the span of just five trading days.

    [​IMG]

    Fast-forwarding just a week, the picture has completely changed. Now, every major index ETF in the Trend Analyzer is up at least 3% over the last five trading days, and the majority are back above their 50-day moving averages. Leading the way higher, the same indices that were down the most have bounced back the greatest while mega-cap indices like the Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) and S&P 100 (OEF) are the only two that are up less than 4% over the last five trading days.

    BTW, just a real quick heads up here that we have the CPI print due out in just about 15 minutes from now. Here are the quick consensus levels while we wait for this bigly data this AM:

    Morning Lineup - 12/10/21 - The Report You've All Been Waiting For
    Fri, Dec 10, 2021

    Following yesterday's move of just six cents (not basis points but cents) in the Dow, European markets are similarly quiet this morning with the FTSE-100, the CAC-40, and DAX, all trading within 0.1% of their respective closes on Thursday. However, just as the Dow's move wasn't entirely representative of the action in US stocks yesterday, the fact that indices are little changed on the day doesn't reflect that all of those major European indices are well off their lows of the day.

    There may not be a lot of direction in equity markets so far this morning, but there's a good chance that the release of November CPI could act as a catalyst for more of a move throughout the day, although there wasn't a lot of optimism heading into the report that the reading would come in light,

    Once CPI is out of the way, investors can shift their focus to next week's FOMC announcement on Wednesday. Given Powell's hawkish pivot right after Thanksgiving, it's hard to imagine what the Fed could say next week that would really be a surprise to investors at this point.

    With all the volatility we have seen in the S&P 500 over the last month, the largest stock in the S&P 500 has been remarkably calm. The S&P 500's performance over the last month has been a marginal gain of less than half of a percent, but shares of Apple (AAPL) have rallied over 18%. With a performance spread of more than 17 percentage points, the gap between AAPL and the S&P 500 over the last month has been the widest since August 2020, and before that, you would have to go all the way back to August 2013 to find another time that the spread was wider. There have been plenty of times in the past where AAPL has followed a different path than the broader market, but you don't often see the gap get wider than it is now.

    Here is the quick look at the notable ERs for next week for anyone looking around for that. (Nothing too terribly noteworthy or standing out as earnings season has mostly all but concluded until January '22). Have a great weekend ahead y'all's!

    Morning Lineup - 12/13/21 - Fading Gains
    Mon, Dec 13, 2021

    If you had asked investors last Monday morning if they thought the S&P 500 would be trading at a record high to close out the week, you probably wouldn't have gotten many takers. Surprising people is what the market likes to do best, though, so that's exactly what it did last week. To kick off this week, futures were higher overnight but have given up much of those gains although they are still modestly positive. Bitcoin had a brief move above $50K over the weekend, but it has been pulling back in trading today and is back below $49K.

    Mid-December is typically when things start to slow down into year-end, but this week will be busy for central banks. Not only will the Fed make its policy announcement on Wednesday, but we'll also get policy decisions from more than ten other central banks this week, including the Eurozone, UK, Japan, and Russia.

    You know it was a good week in the equity market when sectors that lagged were still up over 2.5%. In last week's nearly 4% rally for the S&P 500, all eleven sectors were not only higher on the week but they were also all up over 2.5%. Leading the way higher, it was Technology (XLK), which surged 5.9% thanks in large part to Apple's (AAPL) gain of more than 10%. After Technology, the two sectors rounding out the top three were Energy (XLE) and Consumer Staples (XLP) which gained 3.81% and 3.66%, respectively. It's not often that you see Technology on the leaderboard with sectors like Energy and Consumer Staples. In spite of last week's surge, just five sectors are currently at overbought levels with Financials and Communication Services the only two sectors that are still below their 50-day moving averages.

    Evergrande's boss forced to sell an additional 277.8 million shares as China's government says it's not bailing the property giant out

    This latest disposal adds to the list of Hui's personal assets has sold in recent months, and comes as the Chinese government has signaled that there will be no bailout for Evergrande, with central bank governor Yi Gang saying last Thursday that Evergrande's inability to meet its obligations is a market event, Bloomberg reported.

    The Chinese government had instructed Hui to use his own money to pay down company debt, unnamed sources told Bloomberg in October.
    He is now worth $6.23 billion - down from a high of $42 billion in 2017, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.

    Shenzhen-headquartered Evergrande is the world's most indebted developer, with $300 billion in liabilities

    source: https://markets.businessinsider.com...a-yan-sell-shares-amid-bailout-crisis-2021-12


    Is this all a charade? Or does China need to be told that 300 > 6?

    Looks like a pretty defensive day :eek: Utility, staple, healthcare and real estate seem to be outperforming today. If we continue to move down ahead of the FED meeting on Wednesday then we might get a relief rally after the FED like we did with the inflation data last Friday, will be interesting to see how it will play out. The volatility could be pretty high right after the FED decision :D
