It’s the weekly commodity edition of What the FICC?
Since I’ve been under the weather this week, I wanted to share three of my favorite charts from the entire FICC space heading into the weekend.

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.

Forget about what Powell said or whatever you heard on the street.
We’re still looking for risk assets to buy.
That includes stocks and commodities. Despite the dollar applying downside pressure to risk assets this morning, I want to share one commodity that looks ready to rip…

After Tuesday’s 9-to-1 upside volume day, our Bull Market Re-Birth Checklist is now five out of five.
Why It Matters: The conditions for a new bull market have been met. It’s hard to argue otherwise from a market perspective. Large-cap and mid-cap value indexes reached new all-time highs this week, and small-cap value is not too far behind. The trend for the market for the market is higher, even if not all the indexes (including the popular benchmarks) are trending higher. But when the trend is higher, leadership is evidence of opportunity.
Our Bull Market Re-Birth Checklist has served its purpose well. But it is now time to put it aside and now turn our attention to questions of sustainability and leadership. These will be best answered by price and breadth trends and not one-off surges and thrusts. We will be aggregating some of the key indicators in this regard and introducing a new bull market sustainability checklist next week. Stay tuned.

The Natural Gas ETF saw its highest volume of all time on Wednesday – by a long shot.
I mean, it wasn’t even close.
When I see something like that, I think “Capitulation”.
There’s something going on here and I want to take a closer look.
So here’s that look.
You can see the $UNG Natural Gas ETF back down to those 2020 levels.
This ETF rallied over 300% last time it was down here: [Read more…]

The FOMC handed down the expected 25 basis point rate hike yesterday. Yet markets didn’t react until Fed Chair Jerome Powell spoke 30 minutes later.
That’s right, he dropped the D-word – “disinflation.”
To be clear, I don’t care what he said. Instead of hanging on the Fed Chair’s words, I prefer to focus on the markets. I find it more enjoyable.
But, boy, did markets respond!
The most striking aspect of yesterday’s reaction was highlighted by the relative strength of growth stocks.

If you’re short Peloton with the price above those former highs from the back half of last year, I think you’re insane.
The squeeze is on here folks.
At last glance we saw 15% of the float was still short.
Look at this beautiful bottom and breakout: [Read more…]
