2016 KDELTA Stocks portfolio update 03-29-16
Strong stock market Buy signals from January and February remain valid, yet modest overbought conditions are growing short term. Fed Chair Yellen sent stocks higher today as she removed any doubt that rate hikes were imminent. Yellen countered Hawks on her Board insisting rates would not rise before the economic data heated up further. Continued job growth will keep the markets on edge, but more crystal clear data from the Personal Consumption Expenditure Index (PCE) and Purchasing Managers Surveys (PMI) will be required before worry over rate hikes become a near term reality. In our opinion the regional Fed indices have all jumped back from recession thresholds in March to hint that PMI data will improve near the end of April when talk of further rate hikes may start to worry traders once again.
