Market Notebook

by Cory Haupt | Feb 5, 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 and BND appear established in an upward trend.

SENTIMENT:
Market participants appeared optimistic again last week. The question is, “how much of participant enthusiasm was due to optimism, and how much was due to Fear Of Missing Out, or FOMO?”

ECONOMY AND FUNDAMENTALS:
Economic indicators within the Market Notebook remain mixed. Real economic activity will likely slow over the next few months as the Federal Reserve continues to act to contain inflationary pressures.

NEXT WEEK:
Equity prices have moved sharply higher over the past few weeks. It would not be unusual to see a pullback in the near future.

All the best during the week ahead!
