Market Notebook

by | Jul 16, 2023

Discussion – 

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

TECHNICAL ANALYSIS:
SPY price appears established in an upward trend.

BND price action pushed the BND price back into an established area of consolidation.

SENTIMENT:
Based upon last week’s price action, market participants appear to believe that the U.S. economy is headed for a soft landing with interest rates largely under control.

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

Jobless claims are to be watched as a key indicator of a potential recession. Thus far, jobless claims are not indicative of a recession.

All the best during the week ahead!
