MARKET SUMMARY
- Trade deal still the topic du jour, and after helping the chips rally Wednesday, it helped industrials stir.
- NYSE indices trekking higher as large growth pauses a bit.
- Jobs Friday and market is looking for a better report.
- Money still likely moving toward the older investors.
More trade 'excitement' with Trump meeting the Chinese VP, holding out hope for that final meeting between Xi and Trump, a meeting that Xi won't have unless there is a deal. Later in the day we heard that T and X will meet. We also heard, however, that Trump is willing to let 5 or so years go by before China has to meet its purchase commitments and allow full ownership by US companies of US companies operating in China. Okay, a deal that defers key elements and possibly allows China to continue doing what China does best -- steal -- for another half decade.
Economics were more back burner ahead of the US jobs report Friday, but Germany did release its factory orders and they were dismal. -8.4% annually, the fastest rate of decline since the financial crisis. Europe is likely in recession right now, and despite China's miracle on rice bounce back to 50+ PMI, it is likely not any better than it was a month ago.
Heading toward the jobs report, US stocks were decidedly mixed. Tech struggled after a good leadership move, semiconductors closed basically flat after excellent surges. There was buying, however, skewed toward the old industry names, e.g. manufacturing, machinery, Boeing -- a bit of old school action that is not bad at all.
Thus, a bit of a shift on the session but not major. Some money finding the more industrial areas in addition to still working the NASDAQ names. Software was a notable target with some sharp drops though most hung on at near support for now.

SP500 put in its first 6-day win streak in over a year, and that edged SP500 to a new recovery closing high. SP500 sits 79 points over 2800 and some are saying that provides enough buffer zone to give investors worried about that level some comfort. Sure beats failing at that level, but as one resistance point is left, another appears: SP600 is right at the January 2018 peak that started the year-plus lateral range.
NASDAQ was down for the first time in 6 sessions -- down all of 3.77 points. More like a pause than a down day, and most of the downside pressure came from software stocks that, after a long dormant period near the highs, suffered a fairly sharp downside session. The action showed a second doji after NASDAQ gapped upside Wednesday but could not advance the ball. Maybe a bit overdone near term, but thus far NASDAQ is consolidating in place, and that is not bad action.
DJ30 broke to a higher recovery high, moving through the middle peak in the October/December resistance range as investors looked to more industrial-type stocks on the day as well as some energy.
SOX showed similar action to NASDAQ. After the Wednesday gap higher and move to a new high but then not, it tried higher again Thursday but again failed at 1475. Still held a gain, but a heck of a move for the past week and may want to pause a bit -- as it is doing.
SP400 midcaps added some solid enough upside, but they are still in the 6 week lateral range. A nice bounce off the 61% Fibonacci retracement, now facing the late February high. A solid pattern, still looks as if it needs some more work, but that is what we said about DJ30 and it kept moving right on up.
RUTX moved steadily higher as well; not terribly exciting, but steady. It is approaching the 200 day SMA and is at the mid-March peak. As with SP400, working on its pattern and doing a decent job.
LEADERSHIP
FAANG: All decent, most sporting a similar look: up nicely for the past week, now showing a bit of a pause -- AMZN, AAPL, FB. NFLX still trying to do something. GOOG still very solid in its rebound.
Software: Hit. TEAM, NOW sold but they did hold support on the low. ADBE sold to the 20 day EMA and rebounded. DATA broke the 50 day MA's and did not rebound. NEWR stuck at the 200 day SMA for now. Gaming software sluggish but trying to continue setting up. WDAY fell hard to the 50 day MA. VMW sold to the 20 day EMA and bounced some; still looks good . . . but needs to hold here to keep the near trend working. COUP still in a very nice consolidation. MSFT at the mid-March high on lower MACD; important level.
Machinery/Manufacturing: Some nice patterns setting up and we picked up some CMI and looking at CAT. Manufacturing solid, e.g. MMM, EMR. BA tested the break over the 50 day EMA from Monday and bounced on excellent volume. Gap to fill up at 415ish. Money is moving to the group.
Semiconductors: Mostly holding steady after a great week upside. LRCX, AVGO, XLNX, RMBS off modestly. MCHP continued upside as did AMAT and to a lesser extent, AMD. Have to like the way SWKS is setting up.
Food/Restaurants. PEP looks ready to break higher after this weeklong test. DRI (Olive Garden etc.) showing a nice 10 day EMA test. CAKE looks kind of interesting as a turn; kind of. KO looks bad. MKC, under the radar, has moved 32 points in small, small increments since gapping lower in late January. MDLZ in a 1.5 week tight lateral move over the 10 day EMA after a new recovery high. Oh, and CMG also in a tight, tight, tight, weeklong lateral move over the 10 day EMA. Have to eat.

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.

FRIDAY
Jobs Report, and the trillion dollar question is whether they will rebound from the rather pathetic 20K reported in February. A decent 170K is anticipated. Also, will February be revised higher?
The market needs decent jobs to assure it that the economy is not rolling over. Jobs are of course lagging, so there could be an upsetting surprise, but the jobless claims hit a low not seen since 1969. Perhaps that more leading indicator holds sway -- even if it means little given so many are out of the workforce and are able to collect enough benefits to stay that way.
I would suspect that the powers that be will not allow a second clinker of a jobs report. Thus, I anticipate a decent report. Even so, I am not sure the market rallies farther on the news, or at least not all the market.
There was some rotation Thursday, and that would likely continue, i.e. movement toward more industrial type stocks and away from some of the highly successful but more highly valued sectors, e.g. software.
Nothing wrong with rotation, just need to be aware of where the money is going. Thus far money has stayed in sectors, but the cloud software names suggest that some money may leave some areas for others. Overall, not seeing a lot of dramatic moves out of sectors, just pauses that let the bids recharge while shoppers look elsewhere near term.
We picked up CMI and FDX today and are not averse to some others such as CAT, BA, et al. Accordingly, even though it is Friday, if there are continued moves into this area we are ready to move in deeper.
Have a great evening!
