Stocks slumped yesterday, but they’re hugging the flatline so far this morning. Crude oil is pulling back after breaking out Thursday, while gold, Treasuries, and the dollar are roughly unchanged.
Every investor can figure out what they want to buy and then explain to you why they own it. Same with when and why they sold an ETF or a stock. But there’s something missing from 95% of those discussions, whether they are on television, in print, or in a bar or restaurant, writes Robert Isbitts, founder of ETFYourself.com.
Both Bitcoin AND gold bullion bested their previous all-time highs yesterday – if only briefly in the former case. Stocks stumbled though, with the Nasdaq Composite losing around 1.6% on the day. This morning, equities are finding their footing a bit. Crude oil is modestly higher, while precious metals are flat along with Treasuries.
The January Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Index rose 2.4% from last year. The core PCE Index, the Fed’s favorite inflation indicator, rose only 2.8% from last year. That was the lowest annual increase since the 2.2% increase in March 2021. But the stock market did not explode higher until the usual end-of-day ramp, and that was the “dog that didn’t bark,” suggests Michael Murphy, editor of New World Investor.

Friday was a pretty quiet day in the markets, and the early Monday action is more of the same. Stocks are largely unchanged along with Treasuries and the dollar. Crude oil, gold, and silver are slightly lower.

Mike Larson is hosting the MoneyShow/TradersEXPO Las Vegas. His Market Minute will continue upon his return.
Bulls fought furiously on Wednesday; however, they could not overcome a series of body blows as cybersecurity issues swooned, states Jon Markman, editor of Strategic Advantage.
Recently, hype and headlines have been focused on the stock market reaching new all-time highs. This warrants at least a brief review of the last two years, suggests Jim Stack, a "safety-first" money manager and editor of InvesTech Research.
