A MUST SEE CURRENCY CHART FOR EVERY STOCK INVESTOR

January 24, 2014

Lately there has been a remarkable correlation between the U. S. stock market and the Japanese yen.  The chart compares ETF SPY which represents S&P 500 to ETF YCS which represents 100% leveraged inverse position in Japanese yen against the U. S. dollar.

The chart shows six incidence of a dip in YCS since December that also correlated with dip in S&P 500.

In evaluating the chart, it is worth repeating that YCS in an inverse ETF.  The point is that when yen gets stronger, S&P 500 dips.  Only day’s ago yen was trading at over 105 yens to a dollar, as of this writing yen has strengthened to 102 range.

The current stock market swoon also correlated with several other currencies.  Unlike the stock market, currencies typically move in small ranges.  A 1% move in a currency is a large move.

Weakness in China has caused Australian dollar to plunge.  As of this writing the Aussie is down 1.1%.

The Argentinian peso has been devalued by 13%.  This is the worst decline since 2002.

The Russian central bank likely intervened to support the ruble from further fall.

South African rand lost 1% to about 11 rand per U. S. dollar; this is a five-year low.

The Turkish lira remains under pressure, declining about 1.1% in spite of reports of Turkish central bank intervening to support the lira.

Movement in currencies gave us an early clue that led to our down grade of 13 of the 15 emerging markets that we actively trade to mild sell on January 13, 2014.  This call has proven spot on.

The sum total of the foregoing is that investors are shunning risk and embracing safety.  This is confirmed by strength in U. S. Treasurys.  The chart of TBT, a leveraged inverse 20+ year Treasury bond ETF, illustrates the strength in U. S. Treasury bonds…Read more MarketWatch

In the long run, earnings growth is the best predictor of the stock market. In the short to medium-term anything can happen.  Throughout 2013, earnings were not meeting expectations but the market kept on running up anyways.  Vast majority of the 2013 upmove was because of P/E expansion and not because of better earnings.  For this reason, the market is more vulnerable than generally believed.

We will keep a careful eye not only on earnings but a variety of other indicators that form our timing models.

Oil is trying to move up.

Gold is range bound in light trading.

Interest rates are slightly lower.

STRONG START TO THE DAY

January 21, 2014

Expect bulls to take charge in early trading.

1850 on S&P 500 is like a magnet attracting traders.  If the market crosses 1850, the  behavior of  a number of internals that we watch will be a tell.

Interest rates continue to fall.
