By: Troy_Bombardia
The S&P 500 is the most widely referenced index for the U.S. stock market. However, the Wilshire 5000 index is most representative of the U.S. stock market because it encompasses every single stock in the U.S. stock market.
While the S&P 500 has yet to make a new all-time high, the Wilshire 5000 index has already made a new all-time high vs its January 2018 all-time high.

Stock Market and Economy False Narratives That are Just Wrong / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018
By: Troy_Bombardia
I love debunking false narratives, mostly because these narratives do nothing but hurt the investors and traders who read them. E.g. if you’re an investor who’s constantly reading permabear narratives in this environment, you’re going to miss out on the stock market’s gains.
Here are some false bearish narratives that I’ve noticed from fintwit over the past week.

Trumponomics in a nutshell can be summed up as a mish mash of policies built on tweets that has surprisingly so far delivered relative stock market strength for the broad US markets this year that has the Dow currently trading at 25,064 marginally up from at the start of the year opening level of 24,720 whilst standing up 7.5% a from its early April low of 23,300. So as the Dow chart illustrates the stock market has refused to FALL this year despite the chaos of the unfolding trade war that has been the focus of the mainstream press for 2018.

This is a good time to remind my readers of the difference in perception of between bull and bear markets for they are not the same. The stock market does not exist in a trading range that oscillates between roughly equal bull and bear market price gyrations. The primary over riding trend is always INFLATIONARY which means Bear markets are CORRECTIONS.

Payrolls Disappoint, But Stocks May Go Marginally Higher / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
SPX futures are on edge, waiting for the monthly payrolls report from the BLS. Futures spiked between 6:00 am and 7:30 am, presumably to discourage the shorts before the payroll numbers. There still may be a small probe higher even if the payrolls underperform. The Cycle Top at 2839.76 appears to be the final resistance.
ZeroHedge reports, “World stocks traded mixed on Friday, with risk appetite dampened despite Apple crossing a $1 trillion market cap and boosting tech stocks around the globe, after Wilbur Ross warned there’s "more pain ahead" unless China changes its economic system adding to trade war tensions, pushing the Yuan as low as 6.91 after the lowest PBOC fixing since May 2017. And while there were no fireworks in Japanese bonds overnight for the first time in a week, this time it was Italian bonds that tumbled with 10Y BTP yields rising briefly above 3% ahead of a budget meeting between the country’s populist leaders and the finance minister. The MSCI All-Country World Index was down by 0.1% after the start of European trading, and set to break a four-week streak of gains.”

How High Will The Market Rally Before The Economic Collapse Begins? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018
By: Avi_Gilburt
Last week, I wrote an article about how I view the potential effects of an economic collapse on American society. Unfortunately, many of our readers took it as an opportunity to post their perspectives on Trump and the democrats.
Yes, I know the country is exceptionally divided. However, I brought this issue to light not because I see one party as being the savior for this country over the other. Rather, I brought this issue to light to show you that we are on a path of history repeating itself, as we have forgotten the lessons learned from the pain of the past.

US Stock Market Sector Breakouts Taking Place / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018
By: Chris_Vermeulen
Now is the time for traders to really pay attention to the rotation in the US Stock market as well as the continued price rotation in certain sectors. As we have been warning for the past few months, this really is a stock pickers market. Take a minute to review our past articles highlighting these sector moves and the general market sentiment over the past few weeks: June 24: Could A Big Move In The Global Markets Be Setting Up? & Q2 GDP vs. Technology Concerns vs. Foreign Markets. As traders, we need to understand how capital migrates towards opportunities and safety and how it migrates away from risks and price collapses.

Our Best Stock Market Indicator Is Flashing Yellow / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018
By: F_F_Wiley
At one time or another, you’ve surely been advised not to fight the Fed, maybe by the same guy who likes to remind you that the trend is your friend (until it isn’t) and that pigs get slaughtered.
But how should you use that advice during the third year of a tightening cycle that’s currently adding 25 basis points to the fed funds rate every three months?
Is it time to cut risk or even go to cash?

US Q2 GDP vs. TechnologyStocks Concerns vs. Foreign Markets / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018
By: Chris_Vermeulen
This past week has been very interesting in the US markets for a couple of reasons. It is time we took a hard look at what to expect going forward and ho in the US. 4.1% GDP for Q2 is massive compared to the previous administrations GDP levels. Granted, these levels may not be sustainable in the long term above 4%, but we can only assume levels above 3% are going to last for a while unless something dramatic changes the economic footing within America.w this news will likely drive future market moves.
First, the Q2 GDP number came in as a huge boost to the US economy and for the future expectations of economic growth

S&P 500 vs. Gold (AKA Amigo #1); a Closer Look at Risk / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018
By: Gary_Tanashian
Not much has changed since the last 3 Amigos macro update. Amigo #2 (long-term yields) has long-since reached the Continuum’s ™ limiter (the 100 month exponential moving average on the 30 year Treasury yield) and Amigos #1 (SPX/Gold) and #3 (the 10-2 yield curve) are still on their respective trends (up for SPX/Gold and flattening for the yield curve), indicating a positive and risk ‘on’ macro backdrop.
Of the 3 wacky riders, with Steve Martin now having gotten home and Martin Short a duller indicator (and lesser light), let’s focus on the Chevy Chase Amigo. There he is on the left, a look of triumphant joy on his face riding one-handed with his arm up in the air. Not a care in the world (as Steve Martin braces for the impact of Continuum’s limiter).
