Stocks rallied on Wednesday as investors embraced the news that the Fed may seek to cut rates multiple times in the next year now that the trend of inflation has slowed. The S&P 500 Index jumped by 1.37%, leaving behind the 4600 level of horizontal resistance that had capped the benchmark this summer and putting the market’s sights on the all-time high around 4800. The benchmark is now less than 100-points away from getting back to its record height and there will undoubtedly be a pull into this zone given the fact that this hurdle seemed unattainable following the third quarter pullback in stocks. Wednesday’s gain elevates the Relative Strength Index (RSI) further into overbought territory to now sit at the highest level since September of 2020, just prior to a swift 10% correction in price that played out over a three-week period that followed. While near-term risks of a pullback remain elevated, it would be difficult to achieve any type of significant negative move around the last couple of weeks of the year when a chase for equity performance, a general upbeat bias among investors, and a portfolio rebalance trade tends to lift all boats. We have to contemplate that the strength that has been realized through the traditional tax-loss selling period may have pulled forward this notorious end-0f-year positivity, but we don’t have much reason to suggest that the market cannot continue to make incremental progress to the upside into the new year before we can stick a pin in this rally as market participants become even more complacent through the weeks ahead. equityclock.com
