MARKET SUMMARY
- Market pauses after a 6-day recovery, before Memorial Day weekend.
- Economic data continues to erode, market doesn't mind. So far.
- Corporate profits decline according to what is reported to the IRS.
- Business investment continues a second month of nothing.
- Leaders still in good shape.
Friday the market was quiet, and quite flat, as it digested six days of
upside following that Wednesday one-day selloff. Often of late the Friday
ahead of a 3-day weekend is contra-trend, and with the markets in an uptrend
and the leading indices overcoming the Wednesday thumping, Friday was due
for some weakness. If that was it, however, it certainly was not much.
SP500 0.75, 0.03%
NASDAQ 4.93, 0.08%
DJ30 -2.67, -0.01%
SP400 -0.24%
RUTX -0.08%
SOX 0.38%
NASDAQ 100 0.17%
VOLUME: NYSE -16%, NASDAQ -12%. Volume down ahead of the long weekend.
Advance/Decline: NYSE 1.1:1, NASDAQ -1.1:1. Definitely a large cap
session, at least on NASDAQ.
It was an unexciting day on a day that nothing was going to excite the
market. Trump was still overseas and had not had his handshake war with the
new French President, had not knocked over the G-7's card table about the
Paris climate accord, Merkel had not stated that Britain and the US could no
longer be relied upon, had not told Abbas that he lied to Trump in DC, etc.
All that fun transpired over the weekend.
The market only had the second iteration of Q1 GDP and Durable Goods Orders
to chew on. Both were less than satisfactory and bonds still look ready to
break higher as a result of the weaker economics. RBC even said its
indicators are flashing an 'imminent yield breakdown' is threatened.
GDP Q1 2nd: 1.2% vs 0.8% expected vs 0.7% first read (2.1% Q4 final)
Consumption: 0.6% vs 0.3% prior. This added 0.44% to bottom line GDP
(+0.23% prior reading)
Corporate Profits: -1.9% vs +0.5% prior.
Whoa. How can profits be lower when companies just reported one of the best
earnings and profits quarters in a very long time? Several reasons, two
standing out.
First, the big corporations that have done so well since the handouts
starting with the Obama stimulus and carried through the ACA, executive
orders, etc. has continued thus far under Trump because his administration
just got started and it has been unable to push through tax or healthcare
reform. A lot of executive orders and regulations are getting rolled back
and that helps, but it takes awhile.
Second, and more immediately germane to this last report: the profits
reported to the IRS are actual, GAAP profits, not the non-GAAP fiction
designed to jump stock prices that are reported to shareholders and the
markets each quarter. So, you have corporate profits actually lower. Sorry
to burst bubbles, but then again, the market does not care about that. Big
moves on made up earnings in a market that is made up of years of Fed easy
money.
Nonetheless, the market moved, perhaps not higher, but not lower. This even
with more calls that the end of the equity rally is over. Indeed, on many
of the more negative websites there are more and more stories with headlines
including 'the last time this happened' warnings of a major, end of this
stage of western society market and economic event.
Durables Orders, April: -0.7% vs -1.8% expected vs 2.3 prior (from 0.7%)
Ex-Tansports: -0.4% vs +0.4% expected vs 0.8% prior (from -0.2%)
Business Investment: 0.0% vs 0.5% prior. 2017 low as businesses,
supposedly so flush with profits, are not investing.
THE MARKET
CHARTS
Nonetheless, the indices held their gains on the week and SOX even nicely
extended its move to higher highs. The market continued its indifference to
weakening economic data, a bond chart that looks ready to break higher, and
at least through Friday, the issues in DC. Of course with Trump back in
country and leakers, the press, etc. hell bent on fighting the
administration every step of the way, that could all change.
That said, last week once again showed how the indices are quick to shake
off disruptive market moves and continue the trends.
SP500: Added fractionally to its new high as it successfully recaptured the
Wednesday losses and Thursday put a bit of distance on the old high.
NASDAQ: Also added a nominally higher new high as it too put distance on
the prior high Thursday. Still trending up the 10 day EMA, having quickly
recaptured it after that Wednesday upheaval.
SOX: Impressive session, starting lower, rallying positive and adding some
padding to its break to a higher post-2000 high. Many chips continue to
recover and set up to deliver more upside.
DJ30: Lost a bit of ground Friday, still just shy of its March all-time
high, but set up to make a new high. Of course, it has not done so and MACD
is lower as it tests that high. Not exactly an upside juggernaut but the
other big cap indices are leading.
SP400/RUTX: Up on the week but only made it to mid-range before fading some
to the weekend. SP400 is nicely over the 50 day MA's, in position to move
if the bids come. RUTX shows the same action, pausing after breaking back
up through the 50 day MA's.
LEADERSHIP
Semiconductors: Still leading, having posted a nice comeback. AVGO to a
higher high late week. QRVO rallied sharply, off a bit Friday. MU broke to
a higher closing high. DIOD jumped higher on stronger volume. NVDA broke
to a higher high on strong volume. SIMO posted a great break higher on the
week. CY looks good and MXL and PXLW look good to go higher again.
China: Still solid though some took a powder. SOHU in a nice test, setting
for a new move. BABA continues up the 10 day EMA. SINA is strong. QIWI
made us another higher high. CTRP looks ready to break higher again. BIDU
looks ready to make a new break higher.
Casual eateries were off Friday but good on the week: SONC, WEN, DRI, YUM
Manufacturing enjoyed a good week: ZBRA, HON still showing good uptrends
Transports: Very solid across the board. Airlines DAL, UAL. Rails rallied,
making us quite upset about selling KSU prematurely.
Internet: GOOG still very solid. BCOR ditto. GRUB posted a great move
upside Friday.
Miscellaneous: Great moves continued in several of our plays across
sectors. MNST, STMP, SQ, COL.
Medical/Healthcare: IMGN looks good to move again. CO rallied nicely.
Some of these look to be forming up better.

VXO: 9.16; -0.1
Put/Call Ratio (CBOE): 0.91; +0.05
Bulls and Bears: Bulls faded HARD. Bears jumped HARD. Lots of pessimism
quickly injected itself into the market. Lots of fund managers and market
mavens are negative and it is spreading around. That is good.
Bulls: 51.9 versus 58.1
Bears: 18.3 versus 17.1
Theory: When everyone is bullish and has put all their capital to work,
where does the ammunition to drive the market come from? There is always
new money to start a new year. After that is used will more money be
coming? That is the question.

Oil: 49.80, +0.90. Oil imploded Thursday after hitting 52. That stalled
it a bit below the range highs (53-55). Friday a recovery of the 200 day
SMA, but still problematic. Can oil recovery the same as equity markets?
Gold: 1268.10, +11.70. Solid break higher after the weeklong consolidation
of the move that recovered the 200 day SMA. Gold still looks ready to move
higher.
TUESDAY
Market closed Monday for Memorial Day. That means plenty of time for the
Asian and European markets to work through the weekend stories from the G-7,
etc. Then we see if the US markets pick up where the left off, including
the US stock indices. SOX, NASDAQ, and SP500 at higher highs. Will they
continue higher and pull the others with them?
Lots of negatives still swirl in the headlines and just because the indices
hit new highs does not mean they will necessarily hold or extend them.
True, but thus far the indices have met adversity with steady buying. Did
it again last week.
Thus this weekend we have more upside plays to take advantage of good setups
and more upside if the market can deliver. Semiconductors are leading
again, internet is still moving higher, Chinese stocks, FAANG, and others
are working as well.
Have a great Memorial Day!
