Proflex Market Update - Wk 27
Dear Subscribers,
As we enter the second half of 2024, markets have decided to become more mysterious. We are seeing a strong push and pull from bulls and bears at the top, and we are probably at a major inflection point. Here is an update on Proflex views about markets.
Market Overview:
June saw markets hitting new highs, with the S&P 500 leading the charge. Supporting data came in the form of a CPI report that met expectations and an uneventful FOMC meeting. As we enter July, however, market concerns are resurfacing about interest rates, with yields spiking again. This trend has been a reliable early indicator of market corrections over the past 18 months, and we are closely watching the US 10-year yield’s critical level of 4.5%.
Tech Sector supporting markets: NVDA continues to be the market darling, driving much of the S&P 500’s gains in 2024. Apple’s Q2 updates also contributed significantly as it joined the AI surge with announcement of Apple Intelligence features, further bolstering market highs. While NVDA looked tired after a huge rally post-split of stock, we are seeing new leaders emerging which is a sign of market confidence. We did highlight to Proflex subscribers that we are in a favorable policy environment and interest hike pause combined with QT tapering is helping bolster all asset classes. We will keep watching policy updates Critical policy data points this week - Fed meeting minutes on Wednesday - Job numbers on Friday Precious Metals: Gold and silver are consolidating well, with gold establishing a new base above $2300. This is a positive sign for the medium term. However, metal stocks have experienced significant corrections after rising too quickly in anticipation of a gold rally.

The crypto market is experiencing rapid changes, with altcoins seeing significant drops. Bitcoin remains in a consolidation phase, failing to break out above $70k and finding strong support around $60k. This range-bound trading indicates significant accumulation. We believe maintaining the $60k level is crucial for Bitcoin’s stability, heavily influenced by money flows.

We are now seeing significant profits in our portfolio while the market sits at an inflection point.
