To gain an edge, this is what you need to know now.

Hawkish Powell

Please click here for a chart of S&P 500 ETF (SPY) which represents the benchmark stock market index S&P 500 (SPX).

Note the following:

  • In the Morning Capsule, we shared with you that there was angst about Powell’s testimony.
  • In the premarket, stocks were being sold and the VUD indicator was orange, indicating net supply of stocks.
  • The chart shows when the text of  Powell’s testimony was released.
  • The chart shows that it was a “buy the news” reaction.
  • Powell’s testimony was hawkish, but it did not matter once the buying started.
  • The chart shows that once the buying started it kept on going until the Q&A session with Powell gave investors pause.
  • The VUD indicator is the most sensitive measure of net supply demand in real-time. The orange represents net supply and the green represents net demand.
  • The VUD indicator has been solid green, indicating net demand in the regular session.
  • The “buy the news” reaction is not limited to stocks.  Both bonds and oil are being bought.
  • In the morning, oil was being sold on recession fears.  Buying in stocks spilled into buying in oil.
  • Bonds are being aggressively bought.  This is due to very negative Wall Street positioning going into today.
  • The bond auction was not stellar. Here are the details.
    • $14B 20-year Treasury bond reopening
    • High yield: 3.488% (When-Issued: 3.486%)
    • Bid-to-cover: 2.60
    • Indirect bid: 67.4%
    • Direct bid: 20.2%
  • Normally, when the bond auction is not stellar, it leads to selling, but not today due to the positioning.
  • A deeper understanding of positioning can give you a significant edge in the market. For those interested in developing a deeper understanding and gaining an edge, listen to the podcast “Market Mechanics: Positioning To Gain An Edge.”
