Market/ETF Review and Outlook Video
Stocks became extremely oversold last week after strong selling pressure and sharp declines. We are seeing an oversold bounce right now, but this is considered a bear market bounce because the Composite Breadth Model is net bearish and yield spreads show serious stress in the credit markets. ETFs related to energy and agriculture are leading the way with new highs. The safe-haven groups, such as utilities and staples, are holding up the best in the stock market. There are several ETFs that hit new highs in April and fell hard into early May. Their Trend Composites turned negative, but they held support zones and reversed downswings with sharp moves the last few days (XLV, ITA, MOO). We will also take a long-term look at copper.
