Mish's Daily
By Mish Schneider
With Jerome Powell so data dependent as he stated on his second and last day of testimony, it seems pretty obvious where most of the growth and labor strength is coming from.
Not the first time we have seen semiconductors lead the market, we can say, historically, it has not ended well if the rest of the Economic Modern Family cannot keep up.
Tech’s relative premium compared to the S&P 500 is nearing its pandemic bubble peak.
This is in an environment though, a bit different than late 2021. We now have much higher interest rates, and slower economic growth.
And that is both the good news and bad news.
With AI and chip stocks so obviously outperforming the SPY and the rest of the Economic Modern Family, you have to wonder-
Delusional response, or like Wonder Woman herself, impervious to the barbs of rates, GDP, geopolitics and sentiment?
Of all the sectors in the Modern Family, SMH is indeed the strongest.
Our “Sister” SMH sits right below the 23-month or 2-year business cycle.
Why is this significant?
In 2021 we saw a major bull market. In 2022, we had a major bear market.
Is it any wonder that 2023 remains the what’s up year to date?
Yet it is also the reason we are watching SMH so carefully.
If SMH fails to take out the 23-month and begins to decline from here, clearly the weakness of Regional Banks (KRE) and Retail (XRT) has come home to roost.
Conversely, should SMH clear and close by month’s end the 23-month moving average, then it tells us 2 things.
