U.S. stock futures traded higher this morning as Wall Street looks to recover from two days of losses — and more in Thursday's stock market recap.
The CBOE Volatility Index, also known as the VIX, or fear gauge, is still declining. If volatility is able to break even lower, it’ll tell us that the broader market is likely to head higher.
Even though the market isn’t behaving how we’d like it to right now, if the VIX goes down, it will send stocks higher…
But I also want us to pay attention to the TLT — the long bond — which has been moving sideways for quite some time now. It’s important to keep tabs on the TLT because the broader market gets its clues from the bond market…
What I’m trying to say is that the bond market is one of the main reasons why communications and chip stocks have stopped trading lower.
In this morning’s stock market recap video, I’ll show you one indicator that’s giving bulls ammunition in this tough market… which sector is setting up for upside trading action in the near term… whether the bond market will remain neutral or become directional soon… an update on the global economy and Federal Reserve… and the top ETF right now with an options strike price.
The Federal Reserve is stuck between a rock and a hard place…
Inflation is at a four-decade high as stocks continue to crash. But if the Fed keeps raising rates, the market will likely sell off even harder.
So what does this mean for everyday traders?
Well, the economic tightening is causing big money to rotate out of tech and speculative growth stocks and into more recession-proof sectors like Energy, Consumer Staples and Utilities…
Because they tend to do well when the rest of the market is sinking. And this massive rotation into defensive names is happening right now!
And be sure to join Joy of the Trade’s Jeff Zananiri, New Money Crew’s Lance Ippolito and me, Senior Strategist Roger Scott, each Wednesday at 11:30 a.m. EDT for the WealthPress LIVE Roundtable, where they’ll tackle the biggest topics on Wall Street.

How to spot an intermediate reversal.
The latest comments about the market from Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen.
What’s affecting inflation the most — oil.
