Comparing Gold to the S&P 500

This coming week is a big one. We have FOMC on tap, with some Fed members calling for .50 bps rate hike on the heels of the hot Producer Price Index and inflation. We have Gross Domestic Product on the heels of a strong retail sales number, and record amount of credit card debt could hurt later on. We have 600 companies reporting earnings-the largest week of earnings for the last quarter. We have 2 of the 4 key indices posting 2 inside trading weeks, meaning a range within a range within a range.

In other words, the market has taken a giant pause near the recent highs.

We have written about the the 23-month moving average and the correlation to the 2-year business cycle. The SPY (and most key sectors) all stopped dead in their tracks right at that moving average. Why is this significant? Because, until proven otherwise, it not only supports the trading range theory for 2023, it also shows that the rally since October is still looking like a bear market rally. Should a soft landing turn out as a possibility, then we would want to see the price of the indices and key sectors move beyond that 2-year cycle.

Meanwhile, as so many are dismissing gold, citing that a stronger dollar and stronger rates will not help the shiny metal, the chart looks very different stepping back to the same 2-year cycle. Although gold sold off for most of last week, it closed green on Friday. Gold held the key weekly and monthly moving averages.

Gold, silver, and soft and food commodities all closed in the green. Inflation is far from dead. Again, all rallied in the face of higher yields and firmer U.S. dollar.

Now, it could be that we saw the dip in gold futures to around $1820 an ounce, then the bounce back to $1850, a key pivotal point and that’s that. It could also mean that the market remains highly optimistic that higher yields, even ½% higher, will not hurt the economy or the market too much. It could mean that countries and hedge funds that have been accumulating gold bought this dip, while retail investors have turned their focus more to AI, defense stocks, and consumer staples.

Too soon to say. Nonetheless, from just looking at the chart, what we can see is that gold is following through above its 23-month MA or 2-year business cycle, while the market remains agnostic at best.
