Market Notebook
Discussion –
PRICE ACTION:
Equity prices, as measured by ticker SPY, and bond prices, as measured by ticker BND, closed higher on the week. BND price marginally so.
TECHNICAL ANALYSIS:
On a break-out basis, both SPY and BND might be considered in a newly established upward trend.
SENTIMENT:
Market participant optimism continues on interest rate expectations. Participants believe the Federal Reserve is done with rate hikes for this cycle.
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!
