Outlook
STOCKS: Weak buy
The speculative frenzy in February is wrung out. There are some signs of pessimism, but the most compelling data show that buyers consistently tend to return once the first signs of extreme momentum end, especially as we head into a seasonally positive time of year. See the Outlook & Allocations page for more.
BONDS: Hold
Various parts of the market got hit in March, with the lowest Bond Optimism Index we usually see during healthy environments. Bond prices have modest recovered and there is no edge among the data we follow.
GOLD: Hold
Gold and miners were rejected after trying to recover above their 200-day averages in May. Lately, some medium-term (not long-term) oversold extremes in breadth measures among miners have triggered.
