ISM Prices Index

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:

• The momo crowd continues to be in the mode of aggressively buying stocks.  The news and the data do not matter because the momo gurus are experts at twisting things to persuade investors to buy stocks.
• The chart shows that the day started out with buying in stocks in celebration of Pelosi safely leaving Taiwan.
• China is conducting extensive live fire drills all the way up to 12 miles from Taiwan.  So far, the market is ignoring these drills.
• In the Morning Capsule we wrote,

ISM Non-Manufacturing Index will be released at 10am ET.  The consensus is 53.8%.  This is often market moving data.

• The chart shows when ISM Services Index was released.  The chart shows a strong rally after the release of the data.  ISM Index came at 56.7%.  This is a very strong number.  The market could have interpreted this very strong number to support what Fed officials have been telling us – the Fed continues to raise rates to fight inflation contrary to the momo gurus’ narrative that the Fed will not fight inflation and cut rates.
  • The market chose to focus on the Prices Index that is part of the data release.
  • The Prices Index decreased to 72.3%.  It is down for the third consecutive month.
• 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 is solid green, indicating net demand for stocks.
