8 Safe Stocks to Buy as Wall Street Goes Defensive
Seemingly at every turn, we can find any catalyst for a market downturn: rising tensions in Washington, unrest in the European Union and the ongoing Huawei controversy, just to name a few. On the other hand, secular investments such as consumer-staples stocks — as based on the Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSEARCA:XLP) — have comparatively skyrocketed. Using the sector benchmark Utility Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSEARCA:XLU), we find that this typically boring market segment has jumped to double-digit territory since the beginning of July.

J.M. Smucker recalls some 9Lives Protein Plus wet canned cat food
J.M. Smucker Co. said Friday it was voluntarily recalling certain lots of 9Lives Protein Plus wet canned cat food, citing possible low levels of thiamine, or Vitamin B1. Symptoms of thiamine deficiency in cats, which can develop after several weeks of a low-in-thiamine diet, could include decreased appetite, salivation, vomiting and weight loss, as well as neurological symptoms such as wobbly walking, circling, falling, seizures and ventroflexion (bending towards the floor) of the neck. The lots being recalled are 9Lives Protein Plus With Tuna & Chicken 4 pack of 5.5 ounce cans, with best-if-used-by dates of March 27, 2020 to Nov. 14, 2020, and 9Lives Protein Plus With Tuna & Liver 4 pack of 5.5 ounce cans with best-if-used-by dates of April 17, 2020 to Sept. 14, 2020. J.M. Smucker's stock fell 0.8% in morning trade. It has lost 8.6% over the past three months, while the SPDR Consumer Staples Select Sector ETF has gained 1.5% and the S&P 500 has lost 6.7%.

Trade of the Day: Consumer Staples Stocks Are Showing Great Relative Strength

The S&P 500, for example, tumbled more than 3% but the XLP ETF “only” dropped approximately 1.7%.

Markets in Crisis (Cue the CNBC Armageddon Music)
Apple (AAPL) got a downgrade, and Cirrus Logic (one of Apple’s suppliers)(CRUS) pre-announced a miss for the December quarter. But most eyes were focused on the two-pronged trade war and rate move. Suddenly, the Dow (DIA) was down 800 points, and the Nasdaq (QQQ) dropped as much as 3%. The 10-yr treasury yield dropped as low as 2.88% today, down from a high of 3.24% a month ago. And the prevailing wisdom is that when 10-yr yield drops like that, it is foreshadowing lower economic growth ahead. Add that to the Fed still seemingly about to raise short term rates on Dec. 19th to 2.25%-2.5%, and we are very close to an inverted yield curve, which supposedly predicts recessions.

Dow logs 290-point gain after trade-war truce, but dip below 3% for 10-year reflects some caution
U.S. stocks finished sharply higher Monday after the market reacted optimistically to U.S. and China over the weekend calling a temporary truce to their trade dispute. The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended up about 290 points, or 1.1%, at 25,826, but had been up by as many as 442 points in early morning action. The S&P 500 index closed 1.1% higher at 2,790, powered by gains in the energy sector, on the back of a surge in crude-oil futures , while the consumer-discretionary sectors also was among the best performing sectors among the S&P 500's 11 on the day. The Nasdaq Composite Index advanced 1.5% at 7,442. However, the fall in the yield of the 10-year Treasury note to below 3% on Friday (bond prices rise and yields fall), may reflect some tepid concerns about the prospects for a firm agreement being achieved by China and the U.S. in the 90-day period from Jan. 1, and the outlook for the domestic economy as the Federal Reserve attempts to normalize interest rate policy.

The Dow has shed more than than 300 points as opening stock-market gains fade
The Dow Jones Industrial Average midday Monday squandered more than half of its opening gains as the broader market lost altitude. The Dow was up 149 points, or 0.6%, at 25,686, substantially weaker than the 442-point surge for the blue-chip index at the start of the session's action, which had been driven by a temporary trade truce between China and the U.S., authored by President Donald Trump and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping on the sidelines of the G-20 summit in Argentina over the weekend. The other main benchmarks were also off their best levels. The S&P 500 index was showing a gain 0.6% at 2,775, but had briefly touched 2,800, while the Nasdaq Composite Index was advancing by 1% but had kicked off Monday trade with a gain of more than 2%. Weakness in consumer staples and financials were partly behind the overall paring in gains. Trading also came as the nation reacted to the death of Ex-President George H. W. Bush, the 41st U.S. president, who died late Friday and will be honored with a national day of mourning on Wednesday.
