Monitoring for a Pullback We maintain our near-term bullish outlook on the S&P 500 (SPX), Nasdaq 100 (QQQ), and Russell 2000 (IWM), which has remained in place since 4/22/25, aside from one week (11/19/25-11/25/25) when we went to neutral.

U.S. Dollar (DXY) Undercut and Rally at the $96.40 Level is a Near-Term Headwind for Global Equities We remain bullish on EM with the 9-month uptrends intact on the MSCI Emerging Markets index (local currency) and EEM-US (USD). We continue to expect support at the uptrend, which is something we have been discussing/expecting for months. A period of consolidation/pullback is increasingly likely, considering how extended MSCI EM is and our views on the DXY. The weak U.S. dollar (DXY) has suppo...

Reason for Near-Term Caution? We maintain our near-term bullish outlook on the S&P 500 (SPX), Nasdaq 100 (QQQ), and Russell 2000 (IWM), which has remained in place since 4/22/25, aside from one week (11/19/25-11/25/25) when we flipped to neutral.

Int'l Equity Strategy We are in the midst of a pullback/consolidation phase (likely normal/mild 3-5% pullback) on the S&P 500 (SPX) and MSCI ACWI (ACWI-US). Particularly concerning is that SPX is violating its 2-month uptrend, the 10-year Treasury yield is breaking above the important 4.20% short-term resistance level, and the global Discretionary vs. Staples ratio displays a negative divergence (the ratio has not made new highs, while ACWI-US has). As a result, barring a quick reclaim above 6...

Remain Overweight South Korea and Taiwan We remain bullish on EM with the 7-month uptrends intact on the MSCI Emerging Markets index (local currency) and EEM-US (USD). The latest pullback in November found support precisely at the uptrend, which is something we have been discussing and expecting for months. Supports to buy on EEM-US are at the uptrend (currently $53.60) and also the $51.80-$52.35 horizontal support level. The recent 2.5-month uptrend violation on the U.S. dollar (DXY) contin...
