Friday, August 26, 2011 Stock Market Commentary: Stocks ended higher this week, snapping a 4-week losing streak and confirmed their latest rally attempt on Tuesday when a proper follow-through day (FTD) emerged.

Market Outlook- Rally Under Pressure!
The major averages confirmed their latest rally attempt on Tuesday, August 23, 2011 which was the 11th day of their latest rally attempt. However, since then, they have gone virtually “no where” which puts the current rally under pressure. It is important to note that all major rallies in history began with a FTD however not every FTD leads to a new rally (i.e. several FTDs fail). In addition, it is important to note that the major averages still are under pressure as they are all trading below their longer and shorter term moving averages (50 and 200 DMA lines) and are all still negative year-to-date. Our longstanding clients/readers know, we like to filter out the noise and focus on what matters most: market action. This rally will fail if/when August’s lows are breached. Until then, the bulls deserve the benefit of the doubt. If you are looking for specific help navigating this market, please contact us for more information.

Mortgage Apps Fall & Produce Price Index Jumps!
Before Wednesday’s open, the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) said mortgage applications slid by a disturbingly large -9.1%. The report blamed tepid economic conditions and a volatile stock market for the two primary reasons behind the large decline. Separately, the Labor Department said its produce price index (PPI) rose +0.2% despite lower energy prices. Core prices, which exclude food and energy, rose +0.4% which was the largest increase since January and rose +0.3% in June. Since the March 2009 bottom, inflation has remained largely at bay which has helped alleviate pressure on the Federal Reserve to raise rates. However, if inflation swells over the next few quarters than the Fed may be put in a precarious situation; raise rates to curb inflation or leave rates low to stimulate the stale economy?
