Welcome to another edition of our weekly newsletter where we provide an overview of the main US and UK indices, a specifically selected outperforming asset with deep analysis. Finally, an analysis of an asset in our portfolio, including a discussion on the returns the asset is generating for our Phoenix members.
Let’s get into this week’s newsletter!
US & UK INDICES OVERVIEW
This week the US and UK equity markets reversed the gain of the previous week, as we continue to see heightened volatility. It was an eventful news week with the US Fed rate decision on Wednesday and monthly job numbers on Friday – and the market reacted wildly following both events. Next week is another important news week with the US inflation report on Wednesday. Whilst, as technical traders, we don’t factor news into our strategy, it is important to be aware of major news events – we share with our Phoenix community our approach to avoiding the trappings of these events.
On the monthly time frame, the S&P 500 has started the month in decline following a gain in October of 7.8%. On the weekly time frame, the S&P 500 declined over the week by 3.8% in turn reversing last week’s gains. Price remains above the 200 SMA but below the 50 SMA. On the daily time frame, price continues to battle with the 20 and 50 SMAs, which is significantly below the 200 SMA. The weakness seen this week has taken price back into the area of consolidation between 3580 – 3800 we discussed last week. The outlook for the S&P is to watch for further price action to break out above 4000 and challenge the 200 SMA at 4100, whilst to the downside the level to watch is 3580.
This week’s weakness in the S&P 500 was seen across the markets, with declines in the Nasdaq 100 and Dow Jones indices. The Nasdaq 100 declined 6.4% over the week, to close below the weekly 200 SMA. Whilst the Dow Jones declined by a more respectable 1.8% after failing at the 50 SMA. The Dow Jones remains the best performer of the indices.
This week the FTSE 100, the UK index, has an impressive gain of 4.1% to retest the weekly 50 SMA and daily 200 SMA.
