Mid-week market update: I told you so. As I recently pointed out, psychology had become too stressed to the downside, which opened the door to a relief rally. The NAAIM Exposure Index, which measures the sentiment of RIAs who manage individual investors’ funds, fell sharply last week and below its 26-week Bollinger Band. Historically, theses signals have resolved in a tactical rally in stock prices.
Sometimes the anticipation can be worse than the event itself. Coming into the weekend, the market was focused on three sources of possible stress: geopolitical tensions from the Israel-Hamas war, excess supply putting upward pressure on Treasury yields, and Fed policy. Here’s how those fears have resolved themselves.
