Authored by Jesse Colombo via RealInvestmentAdvice.com, Market volatility has reared its ugly head once again in
recent weeks as the trade war with China took a turn for the worse and
global economic data continues to weaken. On Thursday, the Dow
lost 286.14 points, or 1.1%, the S&P 500 fell 34.03 points, or 1.2%,
and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 122.56 points, or 1.6%. From a
technical perspective, the S&P 500 is sitting just above a key
support level at 2,800. The S&P 500 has bumped its head or bounced
off of this levels quite a few times since early-2018. If the S&P
500 closes below 2,800 in a decisive manner, it would increase the
likelihood of further downside.
ここ数週で再び市場は醜い head パターンとなった、中国との貿易戦争が悪化しまた世界経済データが弱いからだ。火曜にDJIは1.1%相当の286.14ポイント下落し、S&P500は1.2%相当の34.03ポイント下落した、そしてNasdaq Compositeは1.6%相当の122.56ポイント下落だった。チャートテクニカルから見るとS&P500は2,800の重要なサポートレベルの少し上にいる。S&P500は2018年はじめ以来このレベルからの頭出しを何回か繰り返した。もしS&P500が終値で2,800を確実に下回るなら、さらなる下落が起きる可能性が高い。
The Dow Jones Industrial Average is sitting just above its 25,250
support level that it has bounced off of in recent months. If the Dow
closes below this level in a convincing manner, it may foreshadow even
more downside action.
The tech-oriented Nasdaq Composite Index is just above its 7,600
support level that has come into play several times in the past year. If
the Nasdaq closes convincingly below 7,600, further bearish action is
likely.
テック銘柄の多いNasdaq Composite Indexは7,600のサポートの少し上だ、ここ数年で何度かこのレベルになった。もしNasdaq が終値で確実に7,600を下回るならさらなるベア傾向となるだろう。
The Russell 2000 Small Cap Index closed just above its 1,500 support
level. If it closes below this level, further weakness is likely.
Russell 2000小型株指数は1,500のサポートの少し上だ。もし終値でこのレベルを下回るなら、さらなる下落となるだろう。
After the U.S. stock market’s 300% gain in the past decade (which is an unsustainable bubble), it is prudent to be aware of the risk of a sharp unwind:
The S&P 500 rose much faster than earnings and is now at
1929-like valuations, which means that a painful correction is
inevitable:
S&P500は収益以上に急速に上昇してきた、今や1929年ほどのバリエーションだ、ということは痛みの伴う調整が不可避だ:
Another indicator that supports the “higher volatility ahead” thesis
is the 10-year/2-year Treasury spread. When this spread is inverted, it
leads the Volatility Index by approximately three years. If this
historic relationship is still valid, we should prepare for much higher
volatility over the next few years. A volatility surge of the magnitude
suggested by the 10-year/2-year Treasury spread would likely be the
result of a recession and a bursting of the massive asset bubble created
by the Fed in the past decade.
For now, I am watching how the major indices act at their key support
levels. If the indices break their supports at the same time that the
trade war worsens even further, we could see another sharp sell-off like
the one in late-2018.
最後の二段落だけ訳しておきます。 Stock Euphoria Stunts Gold Adam Hamilton April 19, 2019 3257 Words The great euphoria emanating from these near-record-high stock markets is breathtaking. Traders are again convinced stocks do nothing but rally indefinitely. That everything-is-awesome mindset has stunted gold’s latest upleg, since there’s no perceived need for prudently diversifying stock-heavy portfolios. But that psychology can change fast, as we saw a half-year ago. Gold investment roars back as stocks roll over. The word “euphoria” is widely misunderstood, often confused with “mania”. The latter is when stocks rocket vertically in blowoff tops, and is defined as “an excessively intense enthusiasm, interest, or desire”. The US stock markets certainly aren’t in a mania. At its latest high last Friday, the flagship US S&P 500 broad-market s...
