Chart of the Day
Today’s Chart of the Day was shared on Twitter by Mark Ungewitter (@mark_ungewitter). It’s a chart of the S&P 500 going back to 2010. On the bottom pane of the chart is a 20-day rate of change indicator for $SPY/$TLT. The vertical red lines on the chart mark all the instances where the S&P 500 rallied 10% or more, relative to Treasury Bonds. Mark notes that sharp rotations out of Bonds and into Stocks, like the one we’ve seen in the past couple of weeks, have typically been bullish for the S&P 500. Mark poses the question will it be different this time? As Sir John Templeton once said; “The four most dangerous words in investing are, it’s different this time.”

If you had the S&P 500 this week would see daily changes of 31, 26, 3, and 0 basis points after the attacks on the Saudi oil fields I don't think anyone would have believed you back on Sunday night.

The major indexes look like they want to go higher. Short term, we could see some weakness as the end of the quarter tends to see profit taking, but longer-term they look strong. As always, it's important to know your time frame. pic.twitter.com/xzTdyiW7IH
