-
00:00:00Good morning everyone and welcome to Wednesday Morning.
-
00:00:03It's Stephen Whiteside here from
-
00:00:04TheUpTrend.com. In the pre market this morning stock index
-
00:00:08futures and commodities are trading above fair value.
-
00:00:11So so far it looks like we're going to see
-
00:00:12some buying at the open on Wednesday morning.
-
00:00:15We do have economic numbers coming out at
-
00:00:178:30 this morning that could sway the market.
-
00:00:20So we'll just have to wait and see.
-
00:00:22We still have the VIX on a sell signal that support of for higher stock prices
-
00:00:26that would change on Wednesday if we were to close above $14.20. Now we've got the
-
00:00:32Dow trading up at summer highs, we've got the S&P 500 trading up at summer highs and
-
00:00:38we've got the Nasdaq trading up at summer highs.
-
00:00:41So this is a time and place where we could take a break.
-
00:00:45We've got the TSX pulling back a bit this
-
00:00:48week and you can see that we moved up and filled an open gap and started to pull
-
00:00:53back from there and so we have not been able to get back up to the summer highs.
-
00:00:58Of course the US market has those big cap technology stocks.
-
00:01:01The Canadian market is much more commodity
-
00:01:04focused and so the selling in energy stocks have not helped and now we're
-
00:01:09getting some selling in the banking sector.
-
00:01:11So we are expecting a little bit of a pullback here.
-
00:01:15If we look at the percentage of stocks currently trading above their 20 day
-
00:01:19moving average on the S&P 500 you can see that we're currently up at the top of the
-
00:01:23range and this is where the market either pulls back or takes a break.
-
00:01:27I think we're going to have a little bit
-
00:01:29of a pullback in the first week of December.
-
00:01:31We'll just have to wait and see.
-
00:01:33If we look at the percentage of stocks on
-
00:01:35the S&P 500 currently trading above their 200 day moving average.
-
00:01:39You can see we moved up to our first target and we talked about this a couple
-
00:01:43of weeks ago that we may be able to move up to this level and this is the time and
-
00:01:49place where we may see the market pull back.
-
00:01:52But given the seasonality of the time of
-
00:01:55the year we are looking for a continued move higher and you can see that the
-
00:02:00market has pulled up to those levels before.
-
00:02:04So what we're talking about here is we're
-
00:02:06looking for the market rally to broaden out.
-
00:02:09We've talked a lot about that.
-
00:02:10We've talked about the semiconductors and micro cap stocks, small cap stocks.
-
00:02:15We're looking for those to move up as well as those big cap technology stocks that
-
00:02:20have been pulling the market higher and so that's what we're waiting for.
-
00:02:23But wouldn't be surprised if we see a
-
00:02:26little pullback in the first week of December and of course we're expecting to
-
00:02:31see more money come into the market this week heading into month end.
-
00:02:36Now bonds continue to move higher.
-
00:02:38That's putting downward pressure on bond yields.
-
00:02:40That's supportive for higher stock prices,
-
00:02:42and it may be supportive for higher precious metals prices.
-
00:02:46As the price of gold made a new high for this move, as did the price of silver.
-
00:02:50Silver is coming up to those summer highs right now.
-
00:02:54The best performing stock on the S&P 500 yesterday was newmont.
-
00:02:59If we go back to last week, you can see we were looking up two lines 39.06 and 40.
-
00:03:0663.
-
00:03:07Well, both of those targets were hit yesterday.
-
00:03:09So if you had orders in at either of those two, they got filled on Tuesday.
-
00:03:14Now we're looking up, seeing if we can
-
00:03:16break out above the September high up to 40 219.
-
00:03:20And the best performing stock on the TSX
-
00:03:2260 on Tuesday was Barrick up 4.97% and hit our next target of 23.
-
00:03:2844. Our next target to the upside is 24.
-
00:03:3222.
-
00:03:33And so we've got a new high for this move, for GDX, for the XGD, and for the SIL.
-
00:03:40So gold and silver stock continuing to move higher on Tuesday.
-
00:03:44Okay, folks, that is all that I wanted to cover this morning.
-
00:03:47Looks like the market wants to continue to move higher on Wednesday.
-
00:03:51Have a great day.
-
00:03:52Next time you'll hear my voice is on Thursday morning.
