Market Notebook

by Cory Haupt | Aug 27, 2023

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 rose during the week, with the near-term low occurring on August 18th. A resumption of the upward trend would be welcome for those long equities.

BND price remains in wide-ranging consolidation.

SENTIMENT:
Market participant sentiment might be considered neutral, with equities breaking the streak of downward price movement in SPY.

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!
