Regarding the Presidential election, Mr. Market seems to be having a schizoid moment with sectors and country performance showing a Biden win, while the general market is predicting a Trump victory. The strength in Solar and Clean Energy has been more remarkable.
Before Presidential elections, a bullish stock market generally says the incumbent will win especially if it is a Republican. Over the long term the markets have done equally well under both parties, short term however the above sets the stage.
Have the Robin Hood traders skewed the sector returns and will they vote based on what is in their portfolio?
The highlights of this week's market action are the following:
- The risk gauges remained positive
- Market Phases on key US Equity Indexes are all bullish with IWM running rich
- Small Caps and Growth stocks are taking center stage
- Volume patterns improved across the board
- Retail and Homebuilders are surging
- Market Internals are running rich
- A key Sentiment (VXX) indicator broke down under support but is also overdone showing a potential overbought situation in equities
In summary, equities are looking much improved across the board although running a bit rich and considering the massive upthrust it could continue or work off its overbought reading by treading water. Of course, if there is a contested election it all could become unhinged. Stay tuned!
