The Bottom Line

North American equity markets experienced substantial rotation last week: Out of the technology sector and into other economic sensitive sectors such as Transportation, Banks and Biotech.

Second quarter results released to date have been significantly higher than consensus. According to www.FactSet.com 80% of reporting S&P 500 companies released a positive earnings surprise and 65% reported a positive revenue surprise.

Economic focus this week is on the June Core PCE Price Index released at 8:30 AM EDT on Friday. Extension of a year-over-year downtrend by this Index will trigger renewed buying in North American equities. Consensus calls for a gain of 0.2% in June versus a gain of 0.1% in May, but a decline from a gain of 0.9% last June.

    TD.to is approaching price resistance (double top) of $80.72.The RSI 8 is very overbought as well. The Seasonality trend is flat but improves from August onward. The TD.to:ZEB.to chart which is a TD.TO comparison to the Equal Weight bank stock symbol ZEB.TO has been weak since last December but has been improving since mid June.

    Ron/BC
    RE Canadian Banks: Since you sent the seasonality chart of TD, I was wondering if you saw that according to Equity Clock – link above, ZEB.TO and ZWB.TO are on the list of stocks entering their period of seasonal strength today. I don’t always look at this link – just happened to click the link today because this topic got my attention:

    “Ratio of High-Beta versus Low Volatility testing long-term horizontal resistance, a critical juncture for risk sentiment in this market.”

    Of course, you can’t read it if you are not a subscriber so I tried creating my own version, using your chart format but I did not add any annotations.

    Paula

    The STockcharts Seasonality show the banks strength rising from August through December. I don’t fully understand what your chart is saying. Is it that the overall risk factor is rising?

    Just got my new computer today and believe it or not I’ve got it actually working!!!! (except for the printer,lol.)
