Minutes Digest for Dec 08 2020

SentimenTrader Minutes Digest for Dec 08 2020 covering: Not so junky; Sector windfall; Golden Cross on rates

Not so junky

  • Published:

  • Author: Jason Goepfert

High-yield bonds are treading water today, but many of them have been holding up extremely well. Enough so that High-Yield McCellan Summation Index has managed to cross above +1000.

Funds like HYG have shown very good longer-term returns when the McSumm has crossed this threshold. Granted, most of the study period has been dominated by a bull market.

Smaller-cap stocks are ostensibly impacted the most by good (or poor) economic conditions, and excellent momentum among high-yield bonds should mean that conditions are favorable. And indeed, returns in the Russell 2000 have been good after these signals.


Sector windfall

  • Published:

  • Author: Jason Goepfert

U.S. equity sector ETFs took in a whopping $14.8 billion in flows in November according to Bloomberg aggregate data, led by financial and industrial funds. That was the 3rd highest monthly inflow in 20 years, on an absolute basis, anyway. Fund flows are a tricky thing, though, and not the greatest contrary indicator. We can see below that other big inflows didn't necessary precede a pullback.


Golden Cross on rates

For those looking for higher rates in the coming months, a "golden cross" in the 10-year T-note yield might come as some confirmation. For the first time in nearly 2 years, the 50-day average has crossed above the 200-day average.

Prior to the past 2 decades, this was a pretty good indication that higher interest rates were in the offing. Since then, not so much.

For stocks, it proved to be a shorter-term headwind.

Risk Disclosure: Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure: Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
