Indies pause in fresh challenge on highs
about 1 year ago by noreply@blogger.com (Declan Fallon) @ Fallond Picks

A bit of a mixed bag on Friday as the Russell 2000 ($IWM) manages to finish the day higher, while both the Nasdaq and S&P close back at the open price, after a day built on promise.The Russell 2000 is the easiest to comment on, but has the longest way to go before we can consider it back to secular bullish form.  Friday's higher close edged back a little on the test of its 20-day MA, although the buying was enough to reverse the 'sell' triggers in On-Balance-Volume and the ADX.  However, at this stage of the base building process, a challenge and break of $188 is needed before we can look at what comes next.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl_pxPmNafs5gOGxzyrcgIEYK3k3mGdUYjDXUw2saQMNHEppzZAJNwQP9QBfVHUlroEZm5uPVTBR49sjs7G7os_bsek2o28C-klZr6TaWexvkY3ROsmq94oZlVqNWGZtAi9pCc9lNTPbNoIUsOfwVul2aiuEcKEaAZnQ1nk541GRnQxidNfAg4/s750/iwm_jul9.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-ri...

about 1 year ago by Michele Schneider @ See It Market

Sometimes it is just that simple. The Economic Modern Family has had its share of rotation. By rotation this year, we mean that while Semiconductors wowed, Regional Banks soured.

Realtor.com Reports Weekly Active Inventory Down 2% YoY; New Listings Down 21% YoY
about 1 year ago by Calculated Risk @ Calculated Risk

Realtor.com has monthly and weekly data on the existing home market. Here is their weekly report from economist Danielle Hale: Weekly Housing Trends View — Data Week Ending July 1, 2023• Active inventory declined, with for-sale homes lagging behind year ago levels by 2%. As we lap the surge in inventory that occurred in 2022 as higher mortgage rates priced out many home shoppers, the number of homes for sale is not keeping up. With 1 in 7 homeowners choosing not to sell this year citing high mortgage rates, and even 4 in 5 home shoppers (82%) report feeling locked-in by their existing low-rate mortgage, the housing market is not getting the influx of homes for sale that it typically does, and this is reflected in what’s available for sale. We expect inventory in 2023 to continue to struggle to keep pace and likely d...
