Market Notebook

by | Oct 8, 2023

Discussion – 

PRICE ACTION:
Equity prices, as measured by ticker SPY, closed higher on the week, while bond prices, as measured by ticker BND, closed lower on the week.

TECHNICAL ANALYSIS:
SPY price action suggests that equities may be in consolidation.

The October 2022 lows in BND were breached in a significant way. Bonds appear to be established in a downward trend.

SENTIMENT:
Market participant sentiment suggests pessimism.

ECONOMY AND FUNDAMENTALS:
Economic indicators within the Market Notebook remain mixed.

Jobless claims are to be watched as an important indicator of a potential recession. Thus far, jobless claims are not indicative of a near-term recession.

All the best during the week ahead!
