  • Weekly Newsletter – New Highs For The Markets, Led Again By Nvidia and Microsoft

Welcome to our weekly newsletter, where we offer insights into stock setups that we share with our Phoenix members.

This week represents the first full week following October’s market rebound, and the recent momentum has continued. This price action is pointing towards another rally into the end of the year, commonly known as a ‘Santa Claus’ rally. 

In last week’s newsletter, we focussed on stocks that have rebounded strongly following September’s broad market pullbacks. Of the ten stocks we analysed, nine stocks had exceeded their pre-September high points. This illustrates the power of the trend and why, as long-term trend traders, we are not concerned about short term price action that may not align with our expectations.

The resurgence in the markets has been led again by ‘Big Tech’, notably Nvidia and Microsoft. Two weeks ago we discussed Nvidia in detail, and this week we revisit its performance.

Let’s get into this week’s newsletter!
