Wall Street experienced a jolt on Thursday as investors, spooked by underwhelming economic data, sought refuge in fixed income ahead of major earnings reports and the crucial U.S. jobs report. The sell-off, triggered by disappointing jobs and manufacturing figures, suggests a shift in investor sentiment, with bad news no longer fueling optimism about potential rate cuts.
Instead, concerns about economic health and corporate earnings, particularly those of tech giants Amazon and Intel, seem to be taking center stage. The ADP report, signaling a slowdown in private job growth, and rising jobless claims, add to the unease. While the official nonfarm payrolls report due Friday could paint a clearer picture, the possibility of a recession indicator being triggered is looming. Key Takeaways: - Market Sentiment Shift: Bad news is no longer automatically equated with good news for rate cuts.
- Earnings Jitters: Disappointing results from Amazon and Intel amplify investor concerns.
-
Jobs Report Watch: Friday's nonfarm payrolls data will be crucial in assessing the economic outlook.
Strategies: - Cautious Optimism: The market's reaction could be an overcorrection. Consider opportunities to buy on dips, but exercise caution.
-
Focus on Quality: Prioritize companies with strong fundamentals and earnings potential.
- Diversification: Spread your investments across various asset classes to mitigate risk.

It's Time to Channel Your Inner Warren Buffett |
What's the difference between a bad day in the stock market and a bad golfer? A bad golfer goes, "Whack... darn!" A bad day in the stock market goes, "Whack... 500 points!"
But hey, even when the market takes a dive like it did today, remember the wise words of Warren Buffett: "Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful." So, as others run for the hills, maybe it's time to start looking for some hidden gems in the rubble. After all, as the saying goes, "Buy low, sell high." And right now, things are looking pretty low! |

S&P 500 Flexes Its Muscles: Is a New Bull Market Emerging? |
The S&P 500 index (SPX) seems to be shrugging off the recent market jitters, showing impressive strength by holding above its former two-year channel up pattern. This resilient performance suggests a potential mega-bullish pattern is taking shape, supported by a Higher Low on the 9-month Channel Up.
As long as the 1D MA100 (the red trend-line) remains unbroken, a new Higher High targeting 6200 seems plausible. While this target may seem conservative compared to previous rallies, it's important to remember that slow and steady wins the race (or in this case, the rally!).
So, what does this mean for you? If you've been sitting on the sidelines, this chart could be a signal to jump back into the market. The S&P 500's resilience in the face of recent volatility suggests a strong underlying bullish trend. But remember, always do your research and consult with a financial advisor before making any investment decisions.
Key Points: - S&P 500 holding above its former two-year channel up pattern.
- Formation of a potential mega-bullish pattern.
- Higher Low on the 9-month Channel Up suggests further upside potential.
- Target of 6200 as long as the 1D MA100 holds.
-
Potential buying opportunity for investors.

Bad News Bears: Is the Market's Romance with Rate Cuts Over? |
Thursday's market tumble, fueled by a cocktail of gloomy economic data, signals a potential turning point in investor sentiment. The once-reliable correlation between bad economic news and stock market gains, a hallmark of the 2024 rally, seems to be unraveling.
The culprit? A series of disappointing economic indicators, including rising jobless claims and a contracting manufacturing sector, have cast a shadow over the economic outlook. This, coupled with the Fed's delayed response in easing monetary policy, has left investors questioning the market's resilience.
As the saying goes, "buy the rumor, sell the fact." The market's initial euphoria over the prospect of rate cuts appears to have waned, replaced by a more sober assessment of the economic landscape. The cracks in the labor market, the pressure on consumer spending, and the underwhelming corporate earnings have injected a dose of reality into the market's optimism.
However, not all is lost. Some analysts see this as a temporary setback, a "buy the dip" opportunity for those who believe in the long-term growth potential of the market. The resilience of the S&P 500, as evidenced in our Chart of the Day, offers a glimmer of hope. The Bottom Line: The market's reaction to the recent economic data is a reminder that the relationship between the economy and the stock market is complex and ever-evolving. As investors grapple with the changing landscape, staying informed and adapting strategies will be key to navigating the months ahead. |

Tech Takes a Tumble, Moderna Stumbles, and Mega-Caps in the Spotlight |
A sea of red washed over the stock market on Thursday, as investors sought safety in gold, the dollar, the yen, and Treasuries. Small-caps and mega-caps alike felt the chill, but utilities and staples sectors offered a haven amidst the storm. Tech stocks, particularly semiconductors, bore the brunt of the sell-off, with the PHLX Semiconductor Index wiping out recent gains. Notable casualties included Nvidia, ASML, Intel, and Super Micro Computer. Industrials also faltered, though a late-day recovery offered a modicum of relief.
The market's unease stemmed from a confluence of factors, including soft economic data, geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, and upcoming earnings reports. Disappointing jobs figures and a contraction in manufacturing activity raised concerns about the strength of the economic recovery. These worries were further compounded by lackluster earnings reports from Amazon and Intel, leaving investors on edge. However, not all news was bleak. Eli Lilly's stock surged on positive study results for its weight-loss drug, while Meta Platforms defied the downward trend, buoyed by strong earnings and a promising AI strategy. Earnings Watch: The market's focus now shifts to the eagerly anticipated earnings reports from Apple and Amazon. Investors are keen to gauge their investments in artificial intelligence and assess the growth trajectory of Amazon Web Services' cloud business. These reports could significantly influence market sentiment in the coming days.
Rate Cut Probabilities: Soft economic data has increased the odds of a steeper rate cut by the Federal Reserve in September, although the central bank maintains its data-dependent approach. The market is pricing in a 26.5% chance of a 50-basis-point cut, with a 73.5% probability of a more modest 25-basis-point reduction.
Technical Outlook:
The S&P 500 breached its 50-day simple moving average, with the next level of support at the 100-day moving average around 5,300. This level also coincides with a key Fibonacci retracement level. The upcoming jobs report and earnings announcements will be crucial in determining the market's next move. |

MARKET MUSINGS & TIME CAPSULE |
Random Musings: If the stock market were a person, today it would be that friend who overreacts to every bit of news - good or bad. Perhaps it's time we taught the market some emotional intelligence. The Fed's rate decisions are like a high-stakes game of 'Red Light, Green Light' - only instead of children playing, it's the entire global economy.
Watching the Dow drop 500 points is like seeing your fitness tracker after a day of binge-watching shows - sometimes ignorance truly is bliss. If economic indicators were emojis, today's would be a mix of š¬ and š¤ - leaving analysts in a state of confused concern. The market's reaction to bad news being bad again is like finally admitting that your ex's "fun quirks" were actually red flags all along. Reality check, anyone?
On this day in history, August 02 August 2, 1923: President Warren G. Harding dies unexpectedly, throwing the U.S. into a period of political uncertainty (sound familiar?). August 2, 1943: U.S. forces sink a Japanese destroyer in the Battle of Vella Gulf, a key turning point in the Pacific War (a reminder that even the darkest times can lead to brighter days).
August 2, 1985: Delta Air Lines Flight 191 crashes in Dallas, killing 137 people (a somber reminder of the risks inherent in any industry). August 2, 2007: The U.S. housing market shows further signs of distress, foreshadowing the financial crisis that would follow (a lesson in the importance of recognizing warning signs). August 2, 2021: The U.S. withdraws its last troops from Afghanistan, ending a 20-year war (another reminder that history is always in motion). |

"The key to successful investing is to remember that stocks are not lottery tickets." ā Richard Russell
This quote from the legendary investor Richard Russell perfectly encapsulates the core message of today's newsletter. Investing requires patience, discipline, and a deep understanding of the market's inner workings. It's not about getting lucky, but rather making informed decisions based on careful analysis and research.
So, as you navigate the twists and turns of the market, remember Russell's wise words. Stay focused on your long-term goals, keep your emotions in check, and don't be tempted by the allure of quick riches. Successful investing is a journey, not a destination, and it's one that requires both diligence and a healthy dose of realism. |
