There are a lot of things traders and investors can make out of the February stock market… both threats and opportunities.
That’s because Wednesday was our last day to lock in profits before the latest Consumer Price Index data was released Thursday morning before the bell.
The CPI, which measures the cost of everyday consumer goods, ended up posting a 7.5% annual gain in January… This solidifies the likeliness of Federal Reserve interest rate hikes in 2022 — as soon as March — with inflation hitting a 40-year high.
This is bad news for big tech and growth names…
So one thing we know for sure is if you’re not long on or holding some type of commodity-related stocks, you’re doing it wrong…
In this week’s WealthPress Live Roundtable, Joy of the Trade’s Jeff Zananiri, New Money Crew’s Lance Ippolito and myself took the time to discuss inflation… all of the latest mergers and acquisitions activity shaking up the market… why mega-caps like Meta, PayPal and Netflix are selling off… and most importantly, everything traders should be on the lookout for in the coming weeks.
U.S. stocks traded mostly flat on Friday following Thursday’s sharp sell-off thanks to higher-than-expected inflation data.
The S&P 500 and Dow are both holding above their 200-day moving averages, an important level of support, despite the market turmoil.
On the other hand, the Nasdaq 100 is trading below its 200-day moving average. If it fails to rally, it could drop lower once again. But when the Nasdaq 100 typically reaches these levels, it tends to bounce higher.
Meanwhile, earnings reports still remain strong.
Under Armour beat analysts’ estimates, causing shares to initially jump 7% before falling 2.5% premarket on concerns regarding supply chain expenses and increased shipping costs.
Shares of Zillow also rose 13.5% premarket after the company reported a smaller-than-expected quarterly loss and higher revenue as it plans to exit the home-flipping business faster.
In this stock market recap video, you'll learn whether stocks are set to break down or head higher… key levels for the major sectors… a review of the recent Consumer Price Index data and its impact on the bond market… plus which sectors are outperforming and which are lagging.
I do a ton of sector analysis and use back-tested, proven strategies to beat the market. I use proprietary formulas based on relative strength to track the top 5 strongest stocks… You know, the ones I send you in my new weekly watchlist. But now I want to know which stocks you’d like to see rankings for! All you have to do is reply directly to this email with your tickers!
The market’s recent shift has forced me to break one of my top trading rules… and take a look at a powerful signal I used to ignore!
As you probably know by now, I haven’t always been a huge fan of trading gaps…
But the way the market is moving right now, doing just that could be essential to trading success.
I know one expert who has these setups down to a science. In fact, she’s been making major overnight gaps like 29%... 40%... and even 102% in just a matter of days!
One thing I’ve learned over the years is stocks tend to get volatile when they approach and break through the 52-week high or low price point… That’s why I want to teach you my 52-week pop strategy.
