Chart of the Day
Today’s chart of the day was shared on Twitter by David Keller (@DKellerCMT). It’s a chart comparing the performance of the S&P 500 ($SPY), Emerging Markets ($EEM), Developed Markets ($EFA) and Frontier Markets ($FM), since the end of April. As you can see, Frontier Markets have significantly outperformed the rest of the pack. The Frontier Markets ETF, $FM is comprised of stocks from the riskiest and least economically developed countries in the world including Vietnam, Kuwait, and Argentina. The fact that investors prefer these countries over some of the more developed countries indicates risk appetite, which we think is positive for equities on a broader scale. For a deeper-dive into Frontier Markets check out our newest report.

From its June 3rd intraday low (24,680.57) to yesterday's intraday high (26,248.67), the DJ Industrial Average gained 6%. It also encountered resistance as it approached its April 4th intraday high of 26,695.96, thus a pause is normal and necessary in order to digest this gain.

The Global A/D line made new highs yesterday.
Look at countries like Switzerland, Russia, India, Brazil, and Greece. There is a lot of strength globally, suggesting there likely won't be the global recession so many are expecting. pic.twitter.com/QZ9brWc4zo

$RTY_F daily. Russell continues to lag behind. I would argue that if it drops below 1450 level, it will retest December lows. Somehow Russell is in dissonance with the 52w low/high ratio on S&P500. pic.twitter.com/2DCz602xTb

Much of the bull case for equities has been riding on the uptrend of the NYSE Advance-Decline Line. But its 21-day Rate of Change has seen a steady negative divergence over the past 5 months. We can't help but wonder if the momentum of the A-D Line is trying to tell us something. pic.twitter.com/qqvYQUMSFm

Technically stunning crude oil chart…. Perfect re-test of breakdown and now headed for the big neck line. Unlikely to break on first attempt but Im guessing it breaks in the late summer. Ruh Roh. pic.twitter.com/cLtlmo03RV

The new Raindrop charts from @TrendSpider are fascinating. The most interesting development I've seen in charting in a while.
A Raindrop chart essentially shows where volume was heaviest alongside a traditional candle. This chart shows $TSLA right now. pic.twitter.com/t1lx6yI3xS
