Market/ETF Review and Outlook Video

Cracks in the stock market began to appear in the second half of 2021 and spread to large-caps in early 2022. Defensive groups within the stock market were holding up, but got hit hard in June. Industrial metals and agricultural commodities were holding up, but also got hit with strong selling pressure. Oil was the only hold out, but it too got hit with strong selling pressure the last few weeks. The Dollar is the only place to hide and the 20+ Yr Treasury Bond ETF (TLT) finally attracted a safe-haven bid with its biggest 9-day advance in over two years. Overall, there are lots of downtrends and volatility is above average. This makes it a very treacherous environment for those trying to trade.
