Sentiment Has Deteriorated: Tom Essaye Quoted in Barron’s

Stocks Open Lower as Market Digests November Rally

“Investors will want to see more evidence that supports a soft landing in the data as sentiment has deteriorated since the start of December,” Tom Essaye writes.

Sevens Report Research’s Tom Essaye points out that the decision by Moody’s Investors Service to downgrade the outlook for Chinese government credit to negative from stable could be weighing on sentiment. Economic reports due in the day ahead are the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey and ISM Services Index, both at 10 a.m. ET.

Expect General Digestion of Last Week’s Rally: Tom Essaye Quoted in Barron’s

Stock Futures Slip as Investors Look Ahead to Jobs Report

“It’d take a major beat or miss to move markets, so we should expect continued general digestion of last week’s rally,” said Tom Essaye, founder of Sevens Report Research.

Investors will want to see signs that the economy is no longer running hot—inflation and growth moderating sufficiently to support the lowering of borrowing costs.

But markets also don’t want to see signs of undue weakness, which could suggest that the economy is slowing to a worrying degree.

Sevens Report Research’s Tom Essaye Quoted in Barron’s

One Potential Catalyst That Could Shake Up Markets: Tom Essaye Quoted in Barron’s

Stocks Close Lower, Pausing November Rally

Sevens Report Research’s Tom Essaye told Barron’s it looked like a “wait and see day” ahead of the personal consumption expenditures price index on Thursday, among other data points ahead.

“More times than not, if you’re wondering what’s driving markets right now, it’s usually yields,” Essaye said.

As the end of the year approaches, Essaye thinks it will take a major surprise from the upcoming data releases to send stocks tumbling.

“The bar to get people to heavily sell stocks is pretty high, considering if we can just kind of hold on right for the next five weeks, then we put in the books a pretty good year,” he said.

He said that will change once the calendar flips to 2024, when the market will have to live up to high expectations priced in by traders.

One Potential Catalyst That Could Shake Up Markets

One Potential Catalyst That Could Shake Up Markets: Tom Essaye Quoted in Barron’s

Stocks Begin Holiday-Shortened Trading Week With a Pause

“One potential catalyst that could shake up markets today is the 20-Year Treasury Bond auction at 1:00 p.m. ET as weak results could trigger a rebound in yields, especially given fading attendance this week and subsequently less liquid market conditions across asset classes,” writes Sevens Report Research’s Tom Essaye.

In the absence of major data that could shift the narrative, investors will be watching key earnings reports like Nvidia on Tuesday. Bond yields will also be in focus.

Bullish Market Momentum: Tom Essaye Quoted in Barron’s

Stocks Look to Close Out Another Week of Gains

“If the Fed speakers stick to the same narrative (less hawkish) expect more of the same sideways, digestive trading in equities today with the threat of a continued move higher based on bullish market momentum,” Tom Essaye writes.

Sevens Report Research’s Tom Essaye adds that a handful of Federal Reserve officials will speak on Friday.

Stocks were little changed Friday, but poised to close out another week of gains.

Risk of Another U.S. Government Shutdown

Risk of Another U.S. Government Shutdown: Tom Essaye Quoted in Barron’s

Stocks Fall to Start a Busy Economic Week

Sevens Report Research’s Tom Essaye notes markets are digesting Friday night’s news that Moody’s cut its outlook on U.S. credit to negative, though it kept the rating itself. Markets may also react to rising tensions in the Middle East as the U.S. launches airstrikes in Syria.

“Beyond today, though, in addition to the economic catalysts this week, risk of another U.S. government shutdown is rising as there needs to be a short-term spending deal by Friday to avoid a shutdown,” Esaye writes.

“So, any progress on that front today will help markets, while any negative headlines will likely provide a small headwind.”

Treasury Yields To Continue To Drive Short-Term Trading

Treasury Yields To Continue To Drive Short-Term Trading: Tom Essaye Quoted in Barron’s

Stocks Extend Rally After Best Week of the Year

“Today there are no notable economic reports and just one Fed speaker, [Lisa] Cook (11:00 a.m. ET), so look for Treasury yields to continue to drive short-term trading,” writes Sevens Report Research’s Tom Essaye.

The 10-year Treasury yield ticked higher on Monday but was still at 4.614%. The 10-year yield was trading around 5% in October, which weighed on rate-sensitive stocks.

“If the 10-year yield continues to decline then the S&P 500 can extend last week’s rally.”

Israel Moved Forces Into Gaza: Tom Essaye Quoted in Barron’s

Stocks Bounce Back From Dreadful Week

“Geo-politically, Israel moved forces into Gaza over the weekend but the operation is not as large as feared (yet) and that’s helping to slightly reduce geopolitical anxiety,” writes Sevens Report Research’s Tom Essaye.

Aside from a stacked slate of earnings reports headlined by Apple (ticker: AAPL) this week, traders will be watching developments in the Israel-Hamas war and Wednesday’s interest-rate decision from the Federal Reserve.
