Let’s start with what Wall Street did this week and overnight, as this will have a big bearing on what happens on Monday on our market. The news is positive, with all the most-watched indexes up on Friday, and the VIX (or fear index) is on the slide to a low 16.31 reading.
It has been a losing week for stocks and Wall Street only just defied this trend at the close on Friday. Part of the negativity is the uninspiring profit story coming out of US reporting season, but who really should be surprised about that, with the Fed turning the thumbscrews on the economy with its aggressive interest rate strategy?
It was a positive week for US and local stocks with the S&P500 up 1.28%, while we added 1.72% with the S&P/ASX 200. Friday brought a bit of negativity but there were some pluses that could be added to the improving inflation story.
