Instead of written commentary today I invite you to have a listen to a segment I did with Shannah Game in early December.
In 37 minutes, we go through discussions on macro themes such as gold, soft commodities, megatrends for 2020 to follow and what to expect in an election year.
One little treat we discuss is Beyond Meat’s stock (BYND), which today exploded from its recent trading range.
To follow up on last evening’s stock market update, below is a quick note on the market…
Last night, I posted 2 charts. One of the Transportation sector ETF (IYT) and one of the Russell 2000 (IWM).
That information turned out to be actionable and timely.
In IYT, we saw that the 50-DMA is at 194.57.
We noted that the slope on the 50-DMA is neutral and that in order for a confirmed phase deterioration to caution, IYT had to close below the 50-DMA again.
We said that, “The key here for the bulls is that IYT closes tomorrow back over the 50-DMA.”
The Russell 2000 IWM, still has more work to do in order to clear the 10-DMA at 165.89 and hold above there.
IYT showed the bulls promise today and kept the bullish phase intact.
If it continues to close above 194.60 and can clear and close above 195.82 tomorrow, I would not be surprised to see IWM play catch up.
Although I recorded the podcast in early December, it was released today.
The information remains quite relevant.
