GLOBAL EQUITY MARKETS – May 9, 2020

REVIEW

The benchmark for the Global equity markets performance, the iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF (ACWI.O) continued to hold on to its gains after the ETF experienced a setback. The ETF recovered close to 62% of the decline that started in February. Price came close to its 200-day moving average which is now at 71.9 levels. The ETF is in a downtrend below the 200-day average. I continue to monitor this ETF for a possible short-term chart pattern development.

Note: We have received many requests for the possibility to have the report in PDF format. Going forward I will attach a PDF version of the report for our members who would like to read on paper and also offline. Due to large size (given that I like to keep charts in large format) this is the best layout I could put the report. I hope this will be useful.

GLOBAL EQUITY MARKETS – MAY 9, 2020

The benchmark for the Emerging Markets performance, the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index ETF (EEM) was another price chart that resumed its rebound from oversold conditions. The ETF is in a downtrend and there is no chart pattern development on daily and weekly scale price charts. Unlike the ACWI ETF, the rebound on EEM was weak, recovering almost 50% of the Jan-Mar sell-off. Strong resistance area is between 39.2 and 39.9 levels. When major benchmarks and indices don’t offer opportunities, I focus on single equities for possible breakout/breakdown signals.

The benchmark for the Frontier equity markets performance, the iShares MSCI Frontier 100 ETF, broke down its support at 21.5 levels. FM ETF is the first one from ACWI, EEM and FM that fell below its 2016 lows. So far the price action has been trying to hold above the support at 21.5 levels. This week’s price action was strong, possibly confirming the breach below 21.5 level as a bear trap. I monitor the daily charts for possible bottom reversal signals. Please note that this ETF when compared with ACWI and EEM had weakest rebound from the lows.

China SSE 50 Index has been holding well. The index has a wide trading range between 2,675 and 3,050 levels. The index managed to remain above the support level at 2,675 levels. The long-term support for China SSE 50 Index is at 2,465 levels. Compared to Global benchmarks, SSE50 Index remained relatively stable in a range. The 200-day moving average acted as resistance at 2,860 levels. It is important to note that most of the benchmarks are clearly below their 200-day averages. This week’s price action once again challenged the 200-day average.

FXI, the Ishares China Large CAP ETF listed on the NYSE has been trading in a range between 37.85 and 46 levels. In March the ETF experienced a sharp sell-off following Global markets weakness. The rebound was sharp. If we see FXI holding inside the channel in the following weeks I will treat this as a positive sign and expect the new trading range to become 37.85-46.

Long-term chart of Euro Stoxx 50 broke down a decade-long upward sloping trend line. The index experienced a weak rebound from the lows, recovering almost 50% of the decline. Bottom reversals can’t continue with a steep angle like this. If Euro Stoxx is forming a bottom, it should form with a retests (double bottom) or some sort of a higher low (sideways consolidation).

If this is the beginning of a larger scale bear market, we are looking at breaking below the March 2020 lows. 3,000-3,085 area continues to remain as strong resistance.

European banks continue to remain weak. While many stocks managed to rebound European banks continued to resume their downtrend. I added below the weekly scale price chart of Euro Stoxx Banking Index. Over the past few weeks the chart formed a sideways consolidation between 48.8 and 58.8. Decade-long descending triangle has an unmet price objective at 36.7 levels. If the past few week’s consolidation acts as a bearish continuation chart pattern, SX7E can reach its price objective in the following months.

Breakout above 58.8 can result in a pullback towards 77.25 levels. This would be short-term positive.

Both Nasdaq 100 and S&P 500 rebounded from minor lows that were formed in 2019. While some individual names in indices tested their lows, both Nasdaq 100 and S&P 500 remained above their previous lows (so far). It is important to note that Nasdaq remained strong when compared with the S&P 500. Nasdaq 100 managed to rebound and close above its 200-day average at 8,285 levels. During any pullback, 8,285 will act as support for Nasdaq 100. The 200-day average for the S&P 500 Index is at 2,945 levels and acted as resistance after S&P 500 recovered 62% of its decline. The recovery for S&P 500 Index reached close to 62% of the Jan-March sell-off. That has been a strong rebound. It is what comes after this that I’m interested in. A short-term consolidation above the 200-day average for Nasdaq and slightly below the 200-day average for S&P 500 can offer a low risk long/short trade opportunity.

Both BSE Sensex and Nifty 50 fell below their long-term averages and broke down upward sloping trend lines. BSE Sensex broke down 33.3K and Nifty 50 broke down 9.9K. During the week both benchmarks found resistance at minor lows. Both indices remain weak. Both indices are in a downtrend. There is no clear chart pattern development that would suggest a bottom reversal at this stage.

Turkey’s BIST 100 equity benchmark rebounded from the strong horizontal support at 84.1K. This was the 3rd test over the past 2 years. The monthly scale chart shows a possible trend channel. Both the lower boundary of the trend channel and the horizontal support are overlapping at the same level, making it a strong technical support. A breakdown below the horizontal support can reverse the trend and also complete the sideways consolidation as a top reversal. In that case the price target will be 58.8K. If the index manages to hold above the support, the new medium-term trading range becomes 84.1K-123.8K. Given that the index remained inside the green up trend channel, I view the long-term up trend as intact.

The Ishares GOLD ETF continues to remain in a steady uptrend. Two major resistances are standing at 17.5 and 18.5 levels. The ETF formed a possible short-term continuation chart pattern (flag/pennant) that once completed on the upside, can push the ETF towards 17.5 levels. Short-term support is at 16.15 levels.

After breaking down support at 2.48 levels and testing 1.93 levels, Copper prices had a sharp rebound. Previous support becomes the new resistance. Copper is now very close to strong resistance area. If prices find resistance around 2.48 levels, it can form a new consolidation between 2.2 and 2.48 levels.

After breaking out of a 5 month-long rectangle continuation chart pattern, U.S. 10 Year T-Notes had a strong rally. Flight to safety (risk off) trade resulted in a rush to government bonds. Price tested the same levels for the 3rd time and reversed. Resistance stands around 140.5 levels. Failure to move higher can result in a trading range between 140.5 and 134.5 levels.

Bund futures have tested an important support at 169.3 levels. Last week’s strong price action increased the likelihood of a rectangle chart pattern. If the price chart is forming a rectangle, we are likely to see a re-test of the high at 179.7 levels. Strong support remains at 169.3 levels.

CBOE Volatility Index futures found support at 30 levels, a level that the index cleared during the COVID pandemic sell-off. 30 levels became the new support. Unless we see a major recovery in Global markets, VIX can remain between 30 and 70 for some time. Breakdown below 30 levels will be bullish for Global equities. This week’s price action tested the support. Following weeks will be important to see how VIX will perform and its effect on Global equities.

There are 3 new breakout signals.
