Some would say this is a big week.

With the Fed's Jackson Hole Economic Symposium on deck, all eyes will be on Jerome Powell.

Now we need to see if this rally lasts.

If so, $SPY has near-term potential to 441.

Are we all just going to assume that these consolidations in interest rates are about to resolve higher?

Seems like everyone around me considers this breakout to be foregone conclusion:

This is the weekly post that aggregates all the charts we put together throughout the week and organizes them all into one, easy to flip through deck.

Our International Hall of Famers list is composed of the 100 largest US-listed international stocks, or ADRs.

We’ve also sprinkled in some of the largest ADRs from countries that did not make the market cap cut. 

These stocks range from some well-known mega-cap multinationals such as Toyota Motor and Royal Dutch Shell to some large-cap global disruptors such as Sea Ltd and Shopify.

It’s got all the big names and more–but only those that are based outside the US. You can find all the largest US stocks on our original Hall of Famers list.

The beauty of these scans is really in their simplicity.

We take the largest names each week and then apply technical filters in a way that the strongest stocks with the most momentum rise to the top.

Based on the market environment, we can also flip the scan on its head and filter for weakness.

Let’s dive in and take a look at some of the most important stocks from around the world.

Here’s this week’s list:

We like buying energy.

Who doesn’t? 

Energy stocks are resolving higher and holding their breakouts, something few market areas can claim this quarter.

It makes sense.

Interest rates are rising across the curve as the US 10- and 30-year yields eclipse last year’s high.

Procyclical commodities and value-oriented stocks are responding as they tend to benefit the most as yields climb.

And when we add a dash of stock market rotation – bam! 

Energy-related assets are making contact!

But while rates continue to rise and energy names are ripping, crude oil has not been able to break out…

After a volatile week finally Friday is here.

We had a few good trades to end the week.

We had a resting GTC order filled at our profit target in the Paid-to-Play portfolio today:

As I and the team have discussed on The Morning Show and this week's Options Jam Session, I'm on the hunt for opportunities to sell delta-neutral option premium with $VIX exploring higher levels than we've seen in recent months.

Today's trade is in a sector ETF exhibiting elevated options premiums and signs for extended rangebound action.

And October options are offering us enough premiums to trade strikes sufficiently far away from current action, beyond significant support and resistance levels.

As far as setups for delta-neutral premium collection go, this one checks all the boxes.

Here's the Play:

Inflation worries, higher yields, and the dollar rising typically spells trouble for equities.

I mentioned in the Live Trading Room yesterday that if the S&P 500  breaks 4,400 we can see 4,370. An overbought market can stay overbought, and an oversold market can stay oversold.

This has been a slow bleed lower. It's not an easy market to trade, so I tell people to back away or trade very small.

Everyone's a hero when the market goes up!

They're starting to hit a lot of names.
