Team,


Trends accelerate before they end.

The current market trend is accelerating.

The trend is your friend, until it ends.

HAGE 🍻

News/Economic Data

Retail sales came in better-than-expected and initial jobless claims came in lighter-than-expected 👇

Treasuries

So it was actually a bit odd that the TLT rallied +2.27% today. We took profits in our TLT June calls today for this reason. Doesn’t mean bonds can’t keep going up, but the risk/reward today does not seem nearly as favorable as it was a few months back. Interested in buying back in on a pullback.

FX Market

The dollar index finished DOWN and put in a red candle ✅

Energy

Crude oil bounced back into the low $70’s/barrel, but the bigger picture trend is DOWN ✅

Equity Dashboard

The megacaps cooled off and the IWM small caps took the baton👇

Index Price Cycle Monitor

Index Performance Monthly

The small caps are playing catch up this month! We discussed this the potential for a small cap rally in our weekend market analysis video. Here is a short clip of it 👇
