Things aren’t as bad as people were afraid of: Sevens Report Editor, Tom Essaye, Quoted in Barron’s

S&P 500 Holds Above Its 50-Day Moving Average

“The bottom line is that things aren’t as bad as people were afraid of about 10 days ago, and now the market is rallying, now it’s making some technical progress getting back above the 50, and that’s just going to create more chasing, more fear of missing out,” Essaye says. “And I think that’s really what’s helping the market these last couple of days.”

“Until something happens to kind of break this little conversation that investors are having with each other where they’re convincing themselves of these things, the market can rally,” Essaye says. “And there’s not a ton on the calendar this week to break that idea.”

Tighter Financial Conditions

Tighter Financial Conditions: Tyler Richey Quoted in MarketWatch on MSN

Oil prices finish lower with concerns of an economic slowdown raising prospects for a supply surplus

The initial drop in oil upon the release of the Fed decision “seemed to be in reaction to the addition of the phrase ‘tighter financial conditions’ for households and businesses,” Tyler Richey, co-editor at Sevens Report Research told MarketWatch. The added wording “implies demand is likely to suffer in the near-to-medium term.”
“With longer-term demand expectations fading with the latest string of disappointing global economic reports we received this week, there is growing concern the physical markets will tip into a surplus in the months or quarter ahead,” said Richey.

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.

U.S. Stock Futures Waver After Rally With More Jobs Data in Focus

“There are no Fed speakers today, so investors will be looking for more evidence that supports a continued pause in the Fed’s rate hiking cycle (or peak rates already being in) and ultimately a soft landing,” said Tom Essaye, founder of Sevens Report Research. “Anything that contradicts that narrative will be a headwind on equities and other risk assets today.”

Oil prices settle lower to extend last week’s losses

Meanwhile, a consistent run of strong U.S. economic data has raised fears the Federal Reserve may need to push interest rates higher than previously expected and hold them there for longer than previously anticipated, while weekly government data last week showed a pullback in consumer fuel demand and a post-pandemic high in U.S. crude production, analysts at Sevens Report Research said in a note.
