EquityClock’s stock market outlook for June 10th
Preparing for June weakness while anticipating summer strength.
See: https://equityclock.com/2024/06/08/stock-market-outlook-for-june-10-2024/
The Bottom Line
Focus this week is on news following the FOMC meeting on Wednesday in response to the stronger than expected U.S. May employment report released last Friday: May Non-farm Payrolls and Average Hourly Earnings came in “hotter” than expected. Under these conditions a reduction in the Fed Fund Rate by the FOMC probably has been delayed until at least the September 17th-18th meeting and more likely until the December meeting. The delay will dampen buying interest in U.S. equities and related products during the quieter summer months when returns normally are lower than average.
The Canadian Dollar came under technical pressure following the Bank of Canada’s decision to lower its lending rate from 5.00% to 4.75% and after release of the hotter than expected U.S. employment report.
