Stocks Rally As Inflation Fears Ease

Tuesday, May 10, 2011
Stock Market Commentary:

Stocks and a host of commodities rallied for a second straight day after last week’s week-long “Flash Crash.” From our vantage point, the market rally remains under pressure due to the lackluster action in the major averages and several leading stocks.

Import Prices Rise; Rate Of Growth Slows

The Labor Department said overall import prices rose +2.2% in April which was the seventh consecutive monthly gain.  April’s rate eased from March’s +2.6% but topped the Street’s estimate for a +1.8% rise. The report helped allay concerns that inflation was accelerating. In other news, Microsoft (MSFT) agreed to buy Skype for $8.5 billion.

Market Outlook- Rally Under Pressure

From our point of view, the market rally is under pressure which suggests caution is paramount at this stage.  Looking forward, the next level of support for the major averages are their respective 50 DMA lines and resistance is their 2011 highs. The rally remains in tact as long as support holds.

    Market Outlook- Confirmed Rally:
    The major U.S. averages are back in a new confirmed rally and are flirting with resistance of their current 2.5 month base. The benchmark S&P 500 index scored a proper FTD on Tuesday, October 18, 2011, i.e. Day 12, when it rallied over 2% on heavier volume than the prior session. The next important area of resistance is September’s highs and then the 200 DMA line. In addition, it is important to note that the bulls scored a victory since many of the major averages closed above their downward sloping 50 DMA lines for the first time since late July!

  • Market In A Correction After U.S. Outlook Falls

  • Day 4 Of New Rally Attempt: Strong Week On Wall Street

    Market Outlook- In A Correction:
    The major U.S. averages are back in a “correction” as they continue to flirt and in some cases hit fresh 2011 lows. Allow us to be clear: If all the major averages break below their 2011 lows, then we will likely see another leg down. Please, trade accordingly! Several high ranked leaders violated their respective 50 DMA lines in late September which bodes poorly for the bulls and suggests the bears are getting stronger. The latest follow-through day (FTD) which began on August 23, 2011 has officially ended which means we will begin “counting” days before a new rally can be confirmed. In addition, it is important to note that the bears remain in control of this market until the major averages trade above their longer and shorter term moving averages (50 & 200 DMA lines).
