Dow Posts First 8-Day Winning Streak in Over a Year
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rallied yet again on Friday, posting its first eight-day winning streak in over a year, with improving sentiment around U.S.-China trade relations. While Dow closed 37.07 points higher, or 0.1% at 27,219.52, the other indices faced struggles, as the S&P 500 slipped 0.1% to 3,007.39, and he Nasdaq ended the day down 0.2% at 8,176.71. After closing on their highs Tuesday, stock index futures rallied further Wednesday evening after President Trump declared that he would be postponing the planned increase of tariffs on Chinese goods by a little over 2 weeks, as a “gesture of good will.” The tariffs, which are designed to increase to 30% from 25% on about $250 billion worth of Chinese goods, have been a topic of much debate recently.

How Market Data Could Effect A Rate Cut Decision
This article was originally published on ETFTrends.com. With markets once again within less than 1.5% of all time highs, investors are concerned that these lofty levels could be derailed by global and economic events such as a Fed rate cut, or lack of one. One analyst weighs in on CNBC as to how economic data play into the markets and what the upcoming Fed meeting is likely to hold. Producer Pricing Index (PPI) data could weaken some according to Jay Bryson, Wells Fargo acting chief economist, which would reflect an overall decline in industrial production, which the Fed will take into consideration.

Technical Experts Expect New Highs for U.S. Stocks
Despite the slight downdraft on Monday, technical market analysts, who watch stock charts rather than look at fundamental news, see a chance for stocks to break above previous highs made in July, after the S&P 500 rose above its 50-day moving average last week and crossed above August highs, two signs of positive market strength. After a fall-off in late July and August, the S&P 500 has been mostly positive in September, climbing back to within 1.5% of all-time highs, amid more muted trade war tensions and optimism that there may be more rate cuts on the way. “For the camp that wants to see new all-time highs, they would like to see the S&P 500 to hold 2,940 to 2,955.

Will the Fed Rate Cut Satisfy Markets?
There is significant debate among Federal Reserve officials as to whether or not they will cut interest rates at the next meeting this month. Globally there is a strong trend toward zero and negative nominal rates on sovereign debt, which has been proliferating across the euro zone to Japan and beyond. The Fed has fought the trend even though many of its officials have indicated they anticipate that the next economic downturn will see a return to near-zero rates, which former Chairman Alan Greenspan has speculated as well.

To Cut Rates Or Not To Cut Rates, That Is The Question
This article was originally published on ETFTrends.com. With the global economy stagnating, Brexit looming on the horizon, an ongoing trade war with Beijing, and an economic slowdown from China that has sent reverberations throughout emerging market economies, which have seen a decline in exports, experts are now split on whether or not the Fed should raise interest rates, as they try to gauge the state of the economy. At least one expert believes the Fed should continue its judicious approach to rate cuts, claiming the economy is more robust than many believe. “If the Fed is going to let the market dictate what they’re going to do, they shouldn’t even be on the Fed board.

Jim Cramer: Fed Should Step In To Avoid Recession
This article was originally published on ETFTrends.com. In the Oval Office on Tuesday afternoon, President Trump said, “I think the word recession is a word that’s inappropriate because it’s just a word that certain people, I’m going to be kind, certain people and the media are trying to build up because they would love to see a recession. The Fed should make sure it stays that way,” Cramer explained on CNBC's Mad Money. Cramer expressed that the current positive economic data could look rosy right up until the minute that it doesn't, and that tariffs are a problem for companies other than the big retailers like WATCH: Walmart, Amazon, Target, Costco, and Home Depot, or some of the retail companies that are most key for the economy. “Sure we have the lowest jobless rate since 1969, but you know what, I’m old enough to remember that we had a recession in 1969.

The Yield Curve Inverts Yet Again
Last Wednesday's brief inverted yield curve came after the U.S. removed some items from list of new China tariffs and the additional duty on other goods is postponed to Dec. 15. “Historically speaking the inversion of that benchmark yield curve measure means that we now must expect a recession anywhere from six-to-18 months from today which will drastically, and negatively, shift our medium-to-longer term outlook on the broader markets,” Tom Essaye, founder of The Sevens Report, said in a note on Wednesday. Then Wednesday the yield curve inverted yet again. Soon after the Fed’s 2 p.m. ET release of its minutes, the curve between the 2-year note and the 10-year note flattened out before briefly inverting again Wednesday afternoon, with the 2-year yield rising above the 10-year yield.

Buy on the Dip Prospects: May 22 Edition
Below is a look at ETFs that currently offer attractive buying opportunities. The ETFs included in this list are rated as buy candidates for two reasons. First, each of these funds is deemed to be in an uptrend based on the fact that its 50-day moving average is above its 200-day moving average, which are popular indicators for gauging long-term and medium-term trends, respectively. Second, each of these ETFs is also trading below its five-day moving average, thereby offering a near-term 'buy on the dip' opportunity, given the longer-term uptrend at hand. Note that this prospects list also features a liquidity screen by excluding ETFs with average trading volumes below the one million shares mark. As always, investors of all experience levels are advised to use stop-loss orders and practice disciplined profit-taking techniques.
