[9:34am ET] While headlines scream “Economic bloodbath, worst since 1930’s”, traders are quick to take any profits they can find. So Wednesday’s gains were removed yesterday.
By the end of the session, the DJIA (-226.44 -2.70% to 8149.01), S&P 500 (-28.95 -3.31% to 845.14) and NASDAQ Composite (-50.50 -3.24% to 1507.84) all closed sharply lower. So too did the Toronto Composite (-143.47 -1.61% to 8762.76), but the Venture Board (+10.62 +1.22% to 880.54). That’s four consecutive rising days for the Venture Board, which is now up about +2.4% on the week.
Overnight, the equity markets were mixed: the Nikkei 225 plunged -3.12% to 7994.1 under the weight of soaring unemployment and spending that has hit the wall. But, Australia was up +0.49% to 3478.1; Hong Kong gained +0.94% to 13278.2; and India’s Sensex BSE 30 rallied +2.04% to 9424.2.
Earlier in the day, at 7:13am ET, the European bourses were selling off (taking profits is the expression): French CAC down -1.5%; German DAX -1.4%; and UK FTSE 100 -0.8%. Ninety minutes later, these markets turned positive.
In NY on Thursday, the winning sector was Utilities (XLU -0.7%), which was a loser. The big losers were Financials (XLF -7.9%) and Consumer Discretionary (XLY -4.0%). This was a reversal of Wednesday.
Among industry groups, the action started in the morning with the goldminers ($XAU +4.1%), which is likely to continue today. The Banks ($BKX) and REITs ($DJR) dropped -8.3%.
As for the Cara 100, there were just 5 winners and 95 losers. On the previous day, there were 92 winners and just 8 losers.
The winners were the previous day’s losers: Goldcorp (GG +5.4%), Kinross Gold (KGC +5.9%), and Silver Wheaton (SLW +2.5%). Yesterday’s losers were led by Black & Decker (BDK -20.9%) and e-broker OXPS (-15.3%), both on huge volume. But overall volume was weak except in the goldminers, which was a bit higher as capital moved into that group.
US Treasury Bonds pulled back again. The 30-year $USB dropped -1.38% to 127.14, which was a second consecutive sharply down day. Yield on the 30-, 10- and 5-year Treasuries ended at 3.559%, 2.815%, and 1.810%, respectively, which are big gains. T-Bill yields have lifted (a lot) in two days from 0.100% to 0.220%.
The $USD strengthened +0.83% to 85.34, and the Euro dropped -1.78% to 129.43. It appears that central bankers are trying to hold back the flow of capital into precious metals, and losing the battle.
The gold futures ($GOLD) soared +$16.50/oz, closing at 906.50. Overnight in Asia-Pacific markets there was another surge in the price.
Spot prices for gold, palladium, platinum and silver, at 8:15am ET (compared to yesterday morning) are: 919.05 (881.68), 193 (189), 981 (947), and 12.445 (11.85), respectively. Yesterday in this space I had commented that although there was not much movement, prices “Actually, because of the currencies, looking pretty good, despite the added risk”.
Crude Oil (March) futures today are lower at 8:15am at 41.20.
The $USD futures were at 8:15am ET very strong at 86.52 (compared to yesterday morning at 84.855).
The DJIA futures were down -56 at 8056 at 8:15am. The DJIA has just opened up +19.
Commentary from the CTAB trader’s conference call:
Back in the sixties and seventies traders were taught to watch the final hour (the close is what you take home with you) and if prices finished at the highs (lows) on higher volume, follow-through buying (selling) would push prices in the same direction the next morning. Nowadays, with the advent of instant communications, money flows that recognize no country borders, and many more day traders needing to flatten out, for risk and margin purposes, by the end of the day, closing prices finishing at or near session highs (or lows) often mark short extremes, with reversals occurring within the first 30 minutes of trading the next day. The big rally Wednesday through the important 855 resistance level had zero follow-through, instead gapping down -2% and drifting lower to close near the lows down -3.31%. What gives?
Just like a big ocean liner, the stock market needs time to change directions, to transition from obvious Bear to obvious Bull. Large syndicates or pools of money need time to accumulate positions, their lines so immense that multiple brokers are used to complete the order, and many sell-offs needed to buy into weakness. These buyers have a vested interest in obtaining the shares at the best possible prices with as few investors on board as possible, so stories have to be floated (sorry, I mean broken by responsible reporters) in major media outlets in order to create fear, panic, hopelessness, and finally apathy so they can acquire such large amounts of stock.
The bear market beginning in 2000 ended with a low in October 2002 that was tested with a double bottom five months later in March 2003. So we should not be surprised if the current market flops around in a wide trading range, frustrating both Bulls and Bears. The bottom line is trading this environment demands strict money management with tight stops and profit-taking at the first conservative target; traders swinging for the fences are going to strike out.
As we noted here yesterday we expected the financial sector to encounter resistance Wednesday, but instead of stalling out the sector gapped lower and was pounded for big losses, hurting investor sentiment and prompting profit taking. As we have repeatedly talked about in this section, the market needs leadership from retail, financial, and technology sectors to have a sustainable advance. Without participation from two out of those three sectors, rallies are doomed to fail and should be sold.
Bonds were again crushed and are now reaching a short-term oversold condition. For very nimble traders, locking in gains with a trailing stop would be advisable. However, most of us should remain short and look for rallies to add to (short) positions. Once a bubble this big bursts (see housing and dot.com tech bubbles), the slippery slope lower is relentless. This Bear move in Bonds (see Cara Trade of the Generation in late November 2008) has just begun, and one could argue the bond bull market lasted for 28 years, so the corresponding Bear will be many years long, not just a couple months.
On the other side of the Trade of the Generation – gold and goldminers – yesterday, the gold stocks had a very explosive, large volume move higher in late morning trading and are currently right at resistance. If they can punch through this level in the next few days, the long awaited upside surge may begin sooner than some people expected. The key here is patience. Overnight there was massive overseas buying of the bullion, which is likely to pump your gold positions; but do not jump the gun; give these positions the entire day to run. For those of you who are late to the gold trade, do not anticipate today’s move as the time to "get in early." Let the prices break out and if they do that on big volume then jump on board with a stop placed just under the former resistance level.
All in all, while these are challenging markets to trade, even for professionals, on Thursday we managed to give back less than we made Wednesday, besting the S&P which gave back all Wednesday gains and then some on Thursday.
For the month (YTD), the S&P 500 is down -6.43% from 903.25 to 845.14. As a comparison, our Growth accounts are up +4.6% and our Controlled Risk accounts are up +2.8%. We have managed this terrific result with only about one-third cash exposed to market risk.
You have heard this before, but it’s true: the mark of a professional is consistency.
