Happenings in the Far East

Bifurcation, as we have been noting here and with Members, is anywhere and everywhere you look these days: Within sectors (tech), within major economies, across asset classes and global markets. This is the primary driver behind the vast amount of cherry-picking going on right now be it from bulls, bears, doves, or hawks.  But my main takeaway...

Amid the Daily Melt-Up, Homebuilders Are Done

Despite beating estimates, homebuilder Lennar (first daily chart, below) is being sold fairly aggressively on lowered forward guidance.  After an epic rally from last Halloween 2023 into April of this year, the XHB (second daily chart, below) sector ETF for the homebuilders finally cooled off. Many assumed it was a mere pauses which refreshes...

The Curious Case of Bifurcation

Great visual, below, of just how bifurcated this market has become. Bifurcation is a concept that we have noted with Members in more depth.

Summer Break or Summer Breakdown

Equities are exuberant this morning off a slightly cool CPI print, namely the small caps, Nasdaq, and rate-sensitive sectors. We still have the FOMC at 2pm EST, followed by a Powell press conference, which makes this rally all the more euphoric given the total lack of respect for any risk which may present itself later today.  Still, bulls...

It Ain't Just the Regional Banks

Not only are the regional banks, housed in the KRE sector ETF, a lingering issue conveniently ignored by equity and credit bulls alike, but now we have the larger banks weakening alongside them.  Yesterday we saw the KRE act poorly at prior support and largely unnoticed as NVDA, the FOMC, oil, and other topics grabbed headlines.

Literal Diamonds in the Rough

Shares of Diamond Offshore are popping by more than 9% as I write this on the back of a buyout offer from Noble Energy  this morning. Both firms are offshore rig contractors, with NE bigger than DO.  Interestingly, shares of NE are higher, too, which is not the typical arbitrage play in mergers & acquisitions--The acquiring firm usually gets...
