Market Insight & Commentary August 11, 2019

The Trading Daily Market Commentary features a summary of selected market segments as well as economic matters. Its content of interest is made available to all traders and investors at large

It was a bizarre market this week for traders and investors who were left whipsawed by some of the myriad robust markets rides this year: still, though the broad S&P 500 index concluded the week scarcely lower, being down small 0.5% over the wild five trading sessions.

The granddaddy Dow Jones Industrial Average index dropped 0.8%, the heavy loaded high technology Nasdaq Composite fell 0.6%, and the small-cap Russell 2000 suffered a 1.3% loss. 

All major indices endured the years worst rout on Monday (Aug 5) and another modest slide on Friday (Aug 9), while sandwiched in between stood the most significant three-day market rally in two months, which BTW incited many to ask if this was simply another instance of Buying The F***g Dip (BTFD).

Notwithstanding all the negative oriented speculation six out of eleven of the 11 S&P 500 sectors, finished lower while five sectors were the outperformers - The real estate with plus 1.8% and the defensive-oriented utilities posting plus 1.0%. The financials and the energy were underperformers with minus 1.7% and 2.2% respectively.  

Nevertheless, despite this week's 'recoil' in the stock market, they continue to lag since Trump and Powell began talking and bullion and bonds the best.
