Afternoon/Evening Headlines
Bloomberg:
- Futures traders raised bets that the Fed will increase its benchmark interest rate to 5.25% in June after minutes of the central bank’s May 10 meeting said inflation was more than the Fed expected.
- US Treasuries fell as minutes of the Fed’s most recent meeting on monetary policy increased concern that policy makers may continue hiking the benchmark Fed Funds rate.
BOTTOM LINE: The Portfolio finished slightly higher today on gains in my Networking longs, Medical longs and Retail longs. I did not trade in the final hour, thus leaving the Portfolio 50% net long. The tone of the market was positive today as the advance/decline line finished higher, almost every sector rose and volume was about average. Measures of investor anxiety were mostly lower into the close. Overall, today's market performance was mildly bullish. While the major averages finished with decent gains, I would like to see healthier underlying action. Trading was choppy and incoherent throughout most of the day. The concerns I spoke of in my prior post still persist. The 10-year yield finished near session highs at 5.12%. On the positive side, the ISE Sentiment Index made a 52-week low of 89.0. The CRB Index is back below its 50-day moving-average. The SOX finished with a 1.77% gain and Small-caps outperformed the broad market, rising 1.4%.
