Equities – The mid-Oct 2022 SPX oversold rally nears pivotal resistance at the Jan/Mar 2022 downtrends (4,014-4,064). A breakout coupled with a surge above the Sept/Dec 2022 highs (4,119/4,101) and the 50% retracement (4,155) from Jan-Oct 2022 decline confirms the next SPX rally to intermediate-term resistance at 4,307.5-4,325 (May and Aug 2022 reaction highs and the 61.8% retracement). Initial support is 3,914 (50-day ma) and below this 3,764.5 (12/22/22 low). A breakdown below 3,688-3,721 confirms the next SPX decline.
Fixed Income – The 10-year minus 3-mo yield spread (-1.18) has broken below the Jan 2001 all-time low (-0.95), confirming another record low (-1.23).
