Mish’s Daily: The Stock Market Bounces Amidst Strong Headwinds

The S&P 500 was sharply oversold last week according to Our Big View weekly analysis. Hence, the market bounced and cleared the 50-day moving average in all indices.

The macro backdrop for the financial system remains the same. However, with all the headwinds, can this bounce last?

First and foremost, nothing about the market’s underlying fundamentals has changed. According to the latest Refinitiv Lipper fund flow report, sellers retracted $17.5B from conventional exchange-traded funds last week. Leading the outflows were equity funds and money market fund. This marks the second straight week of outflows for both.

The fixed income ETF losers were SPDR Bloomberg High Yield Bond ETF (JNK) and the iShares iBoxx $ Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF (LQD), as they also observed the most significant weekly outflows. With that said, junk bonds have been an extraordinarily reliable lead indicator for risk on/risk/neutral/risk off.

To start the heavy stat-driven week, what do we need junk bonds to do in order to see the equity rally continue?

Junk bonds deliver higher yields on investments, as the companies in the ETF generally tend to have poor balance sheets. Therefore, if bond traders are buying junk bonds, they have confidence the market will go up. The chart shows that, while SPY is above the blue line or 50-DMA, junk bonds (JNK) are not quite there.

If some of the headwinds turn out not so disruptive (CPI lower, rail strike averted, rates remain stable, dollar does not get stronger), then we will see it in the chart of JNK. The 50-DMA will penetrate, which will embolden bulls further, possibly taking SPY closer to 420. However, should JNK roll over and break under 93.00, we will consider that a warning to the bulls.

Investors should always keep an eye on fund flow data when making investment decisions. It can provide valuable insights into other market participants’ feelings about a particular asset class or sector.
