Macro:
- Procyclical Commodities led this week, with Copper up over 4% and Lumber posting a solid 6% gain.
- With that said, the biggest loser of the week was Crude Oil (-1.57%), which is also cyclical in nature… This is a good example of how things are just messy right now.
- We had a single asset make a new low this week… The US Dollar Index $DXY was the only asset on our list to make a new low this week (1-month low).
- New highs continue to be abundant across all timeframes, particularly from risk assets like Stocks and Commodities.
- Over 70% of the assets on our macro list are in bullish momentum regimes (71%).
International:
- China A-shares $ASHR were this week’s big winner with a 4.38% gain.
- We had several bullish reversals from European countries such as the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, and Austria.
- There was also notable strength from Northern European countries, such as Finland and Denmark, both of which confirmed their fresh record closing highs from the prior week with impressive follow-through (see chart below).
- Long-term laggard, Egypt $EGPT… and long-term leader, Taiwan $EWT also posted solid gains this week.
- Turkey ($TUR -6.69%) and Peru ($EPU -11.14%) got hit hardest as both sold off considerably.
- Overall, global equities were mixed on the week as just over half of our universe closed higher with a muted median return of +0.08%.
- Things still look good from a structural perspective as 87% of the ETFs on our list are in bullish momentum regimes.
