Will Politics Add to the Volatility?
/in Investing/by Tom EssayeWill Politics Add to the Volatility? Today there is a lot of important economic data to watch (in order of importance): Retail Sales (E: 0.5%), Empire State Manufacturing Index (E: 20.0), Philly Fed (E: 20.0) and Jobless Claims (E: 215K). There are also multiple Fed speakers today including Quarles (10:00 a.m. ET), Powell (11:00 a.m. ET), Bostic (1:00 p.m. ET), Kashkari (3:00 p.m. ET) but I don’t expect any of them, including Powell, to reveal anything new.

/in Investing/by Tom EssayeEquity Risk Premium: A Disconcerting Statistic, futures are bouncing modestly after yesterday’s steep equity selloff, most of the more notable catalysts this week will come tomorrow (U.S. CPI, Chinese economic data, Powell speaks, earnings, etc.) but that doesn’t mean that downward momentum that began yesterday can’t continue so support in the S&P between 2705 and 2720 will be important to watch today and more.
Four Keys to a Bottom Updated
/in Investing/by Tom EssayeFour Keys to a Market Bottom Updated, futures are slightly lower, today should be a generally quiet day given 1) the Veteran’s Day holiday (banks and bond markets are closed), and 2) There are no notable economic reports or earnings today, so, our focus today will be on the dollar, which is now at fresh 2018 highs.
