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

North American equity indices and related stocks are closely following their weakest period of the year from the second week in September to the second week in October<\/b>. Broadly based U.S. equity indices completed Double Top or Head & Shoulders patterns (including a double top pattern the Dow Jones Industrial Average on Friday). Intermediate term barometers for the TSX and S&P 500 already have reached oversold levels, but have yet to show signs of bottoming. <\/p>\n

Investors are responding to concerns that high interest rates in both countries will not come down any time soon.<\/b> Yields on long term bonds in both countries spiked higher late last week Yield on 10 year U.S. Treasuries reached a 16 year high.<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Hope springs eternal!<\/b> Prospects beyond the third quarter earnings report season in October continue to show a significant recovery in revenues and earnings by major U.S. and Canadian companies starting in the fourth quarter and continuing into the first two quarters of 2024. <\/p>\n

Preferred equity trading strategy is to be patient for now, but be prepared to return to \u201crisk on\u201d positions when technical signs of an intermediate bottom have been reached.<\/b><\/p>\n
