CURRENT TRADING LANDSCAPE

The ground has really shifted under the market as panic has set into the fixed-income markets where Treasury yields are crashing and the spreads on non-investment grade debt is widening out aggressively. But we need to be aware that the bond market operates out of fear and the stock market operates out of greed. For bond investors to panic is not abnormal. It’s just this time around it is elevated.

It’s been a wild week for stocks. The markets have given up all gains from last week’s rally attempt, as the spread of Coronavirus has intensified.  Most indexes are trading near their 200-day moving averages. At this point, the bulls were able to stage a comeback and the bottoming process has begun. One of the most encouraging observations is that QQQ (technology sector) is above its 200-day moving average, 10-year yield is below 0.90% and, I am thinking about refinancing my mortgage.

The question is whether or not this is the end of the bull cycle or just a temporary 10-20% correction. I remain bullish on the market and do not believe that the US economy will enter into a recession.

I expect the market volatility and the three percent daily market moves to persist.  At this point, the support is at $280-285 on SPY. 

The market (SPY) will trade in the range between $285 and $320 levels for the next 4 weeks. I am still hedging my positions using SPY puts. I believe the market will retest $285 level in the next 1-2 weeks.

The rebound this week will be short-lived and potentially reach $315-325 level on the upside.   

Please follow key support levels on TLT ($142), GLD ($145), and DXY ($98). As long as these support levels are intact, the market is prone for pullbacks .  

SECTOR SPOTLIGHT

 Against a backdrop of high volatility and wide price swings, there is no place more comforting to trade than within the utility sector. Just from a fundamental standpoint, it represents the most logical investment proposition. We all need to keep the lights on, power up our homes, offices and businesses. That goes without saying.

Electric power companies are, for the most part, domestic operators with little to no competition in their respective regions. They have protected pricing power. Most power companies have formidable balance sheets and they pay some of the highest blue-chip dividend yields afforded to investors.

The best way to play the sector as a whole is by trading shares of the Utilities Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLU) – which is an excellent way to approach investing in this sector without having to exercise precision stock picking.

The fund invests primarily in companies that produce, generate, transmit or distribute electricity or natural gas. There are 28 companies in this ETF.

The top ten holdings for XLU listed below make up just over 62.42% of the fund’s total assets. Depending on the fundamental and technical analysis, the fund managers will actively adjust individual weightings and which stocks to buy and sell. As is the case with most ETFs, this is not a static portfolio.

Looking at how shares of XLU currently trade within the current market correction, shares of XLU topped out at $71.10 and now trade at $66 and back down to where a strong 5-year rising 50-week moving average converges with the stock price. So, this $65-66 level has a lot of technical credibility, especially given how the market is looking at this sector to offer a proxy for bond yields.

Because the daily price action is so volatile, using a longer-term chart to illustrate how far ahead of the utility sector traded above its long-term moving averages. This pullback is very healthy and offers traders and excellent opportunity to trade a sector with much more attractive risk/reward than at any time in many months.

 Of the top ten holdings within the Utilities Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLU) ETF, the most compelling growth story in my view is Duke Energy (DUK), which holds the number two spot among all holdings.

Duke Energy through three segments: Electric Utilities and Infrastructure, Gas Utilities and Infrastructure, and Commercial Renewables. The Electric Utilities and Infrastructure segment generates, transmits, distributes, and sells electricity in the Carolinas, Florida, and the Midwest.
