Market Rebounds Ahead of Thanksgiving, Closed Tomorrow

U.S. stocks are up today after large losses this week negated yearly gains for all three major indices. As it stands, the market continues to be oversold. Consider adding to your long positions and look towards December, typically a strong month for equities. Today’s rally has all three major U.S. indices in the green just before it will close for the Thanksgiving holiday. The market bottom is in place. Short-term market can retest $260 on SPY but has a high probability of retesting $283 in the next few weeks. For reference, SPY Seasonal Chart is shown below:

Today’s big movers include the energy sector, leading the rebound after retail and tech dragged indices yesterday. Apple is back in the green today after falling yesterday and in turn bringing the Dow with it. Target earnings underwhelmed, falling in line with a good portion of third-quarter retail earnings. Several economic reports are on the docket today which could also help boost markets, including Existing Home Sales, Consumer Sentiment, and Leading Economic Indicators for the month of October. Oil’s plummet this week certainly contributed to yesterday’s sell-off, however, a late Tuesday report by the American Petroleum Institute showed an unexpected weekly decline of U.S crude supplies. This is supporting the commodity today which has since rallied.

Deere, Gap, and Footlocker are seeing a nice boost today from positive earnings which have beat expectations. This is helping recoup yesterday’s losses as the Dow, S&P, and Nasdaq are all on track to close above or near 1% gains. Globally,  Asian markets closed to mixed results today while European markets were up. Tension continues to mount between the Trump and Xi administrations as both leaders are set to meet at the G20 summit later this month. Recent positive rhetoric from the Chinese officials to make concessions has been met with continued pressure by the Trump administration, pointing to a failure to alter many unfair trade practices. A troubling report from U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer reinforces the notion that no China “has not fundamentally altered its unfair, unreasonable, market-distorting practices,” to which China had responded, at the start of the investigation, it will not change its policies. Look for more updates in the days leading up to, and after, the November 30th G20 summit in Buenos Aires, the first G20 summit to be hosted in South America.
