What's Behind the Longest Stock Market Rally?
Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016 Apr 15, 2016 - 02:40 PM GMT
Good Morning!
SPX closed above its hourly Cycle Top at 2082.44 last night, but appears to have dropped beneath it in Premarket action.
ZeroHedge comments, “Good news is still bad news after all.
After last night's China 6.7% GDP print which while the lowest since Q1 2009, was in line with expectations, coupled with beats in IP, Fixed Asset Investment and Retail Sales (on the back of $1 trillion in total financing in Q1)...
... the sentiment this morning is that China has turned the corner (if only for the time being). And that's the problem, because while China was a good excuse for the Fed to interrupt its rate hike cycle as the biggest "global" threat, that is no longer the case if China has indeed resumed growing. As such Yellen no longer has a ready excuse to delay. This is precisely why futures are lower as of this moment, because suddenly the "scapegoat" narrative has evaporated.”
TNX has eased into negative territory, but has not violated its support at 17.57 as yet. The TNX sell signal may be triggered at that point.
The WSJ reports, “U.S. government bond prices retreated Thursday as the latest sign ofa robust labor market sapped demand for haven assets.
Selling pressure from government bonds in Germany and the U.K. had also rippled into the U.S. bond market.
The bond market recouped some losses in the afternoon session after a $12 billion sale of 30-year bonds drew strong demand.”
The bounce in USD may have already topped out at 95.20. The Cycles Model suggests that it may find a high today. Either way, we should see USD begin to decline in earnest by next week. We are looking for the next Master Cycle low in early May.
Today is day 86 in the Liquidity Cycle. The results of this Cycle are staggering. MUT rallied almost exactly 20% in the last 86 days. BKX rallied 21.1% in the same time frame. The Shanghai Index rose 17.75%. The DJIA rose 16.26%. While the other indices were influenced by this Cycle, they didn’t come close to these performances.
The index that “took the cake” was crude oil, of course. It rallied 67.7% in 62 days. We know why this may have happened. It was the banks that had gone over their head in oil loans and speculation. They needed a way out, so this is what has been engineered, IMO.
Now that it has gone its course, we may see a reversion or possibly a pendulum swing to the opposite side.
Regards,
Tony
