The Bottom Line<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Additional technical evidence of an intermediate low by U.S. and Canadian equity markets surfaced last week despite weakness on Friday<\/b>. Ironically, weakness on Friday was triggered by a better than expected U.S. September Employment Report. The report surprisingly included a drop in the Unemployment Rate from 3.7% in August to 3.5%. Wall Street predicted that the better than expected news on employment will add upside pressure on wages which in turn will add to higher consumer prices. U.S. equity indices responded accordingly: The Federal Reserve now is expected to wait longer before \u201cpivoting\u201d from its current monetary tightening policy.<\/p>\n

Focuses this week are on the September CPI report on Thursday and third quarter earnings reports by major U.S. banks on Friday. <\/b>Both have the potential to move U.S. equity markets significantly. The CPI report is expected to show another drop in the annual rate. The ETF for U.S. large cap financials recently has outperformed the S&P 500 Index, a technical sign that a positive surprise is possible. Seasonal influences also are positive for the industry between now and the second week in January.<\/p>\n
