Dow Short-term Analysis
The stock markets recovery from the Chinese Coronavirus catastrophe has been spectacular. Remember the Dow traded down to a low of just 18,213 on 23rd of March 2020 and then over the next 6 months recovered to a high of 29,200, just 400 points shy of making a new all time high! That is a spectacular bull run! So given that we have entered the weakest period of the year (October) AND that there is an election on the 3rd of November then the least surprising thing should be that the stock market has entered into the correction. In fact the only surprising thing is that the Dow did not start correcting earlier in the month, instead it even tried to break towards a new post crash high Mid October, which was a little puzzling at the time as it implied the market was discounting a Trump election victory that was invisible to most including me. Nevertheless it was ringing the alarm bells that Trump could even win, why else is the stock market soaring.
So clearly the stock market and the polls and betting markets are gyrating towards trying to divine the outcome oft he US presidential election, where it looks like the stock markets early October was WRONG, hence the recent plunge to recent lows. Maybe it was wishful thinking amongst wall street traders exposed to too much Fox News and thus started to believe the hype, anyway reality has now started to dawn on market participants that Trump is not the favourite to win this election hence this weeks 900 point Dow nose dive.
