Stock Market Report, June 21, 2006 June 21, 2006 Stock Market Report Market Analysis for Period Ending Friday, June 16, 2006 This document presents technical and fundamental analysis commonly used by investment professionals to interpret direction and valuation of equity markets, as well as tools commonly used by economists to determine the health of financial markets and their impact on the domestic United States economy. The purpose is to provide a synopsis of equity markets from as many disciplines as possible, but is in no way an endorsement of any one mode of study or source of advice on which one should base investment decisions. Definitions of terms and explanations of indicator interpretation follow the charts in the Endnotes section. Technical Trends Figure 1 presents price trends and daily volumes for the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq Composite Indices. The New York Stock Exchange Composite Index (NYSE Index) closed Friday, June 16 at 7933.86, with a return of 2.3 percent year-to- date. The Index reached an all-time high of 8651.74 on May 9, 2006. The National Association of Securities Dealers Composite Index (Nasdaq Index) closed Friday, June 16 at 2129.95, with a loss of 3.4 percent since the beginning of 2006. The Index has dropped 10.2 percent since its recent high of 2370.88 reached on April 19. (Figure 1). Figures 2, 3, and 4 present some technical indicators commonly cited by stock market analysts. On June 16, the relative strength index for the NYSE Composite Index had a value of 41.46 percent, in neutral territory (figure 2, upper panel). The number of stocks making new 52-week highs tumbled in May and remains low, while the number of new lows has trended upward over the past several weeks (figure 3, upper panel). The middle panel shows that momentum (overbought/oversold oscillator) was mostly in oversold territory over the past six weeks. The gap between NYSE's Market Breadth indicator and Price Index narrowed towards the end of May before diverging a bit in early June (figure 3, bottom panel). The relative strength index for the Nasdaq Index had a value of 41.09 percent on June 16, in neutral territory (figure 2). The number of new highs fell in May, while the number of new lows rose. Since mid May, the number of new lows has outpaced the number of new highs (figure 4, upper panel). The momentum indicator is currently in oversold territory (figure 4, middle panel). The gap between Nasdaq's Market Breadth indicator and Price Index widened somewhat towards the end of May and in early June, but has recently narrowed (lowest panel, figure 4). Volatility Indicators of market volatility are shown in figure 5. The Chicago Board of Options Exchange (CBOE) provides daily measures of volatility for the S&P 100 (VIX) and for the Nasdaq 100 (VXN). Both indices have risen over the past several weeks, suggesting that volatility has increased. Put/Call ratios appear in figure 6. Monthly data are shown from January 1997. The CBOE individual equity put/call ratio was 0.6 in May, at the border line of neutral and bullish territory. The S&P 100 put/call ratio rose to 1.25 in May, and moved into bullish territory in June. Sector Performance Figure 7 compares the performance of the various economic sectors within the S&P 500 as well as other international and style indices. As of June 16, eight of the ten S&P 500 economic sectors recorded positive returns year-to-date. The two exceptions were in the information technology and health care sectors. The information technology sector reported the lowest year-to-date return, at negative 6.1 percent and the health care sector was down 4.65 percent. The telecommunications sector, which had the lowest average return over the past five years, was leading on June 16 with a year-to-date return of 11.0 percent, followed by the industrials sector, with a return of 4.7 percent (figure 7, top panel). Two out of the four geographic indices recorded positive returns year-to-date. The Wilshire 5000 increased 0.6 percent, and Germany’s DAX was up by 0.6 percent. The U.K.'s FTSE 100 fell 0.4 percent, and Japan’s Nikkei 225 dropped 7.6 percent (figure 7, middle panel). Three out of the four Russell Style Indices recorded an increase year- to-date. The Russell 2000 Small-Cap Index rose 2.9 percent. The Russell 1000 Value Index increased 3.0 percent and the Russell Large- Cap Index was up by 0.4 percent. In contrast, the Russell 1000 Growth Index fell 2.4 percent (figure 7, bottom panel). Valuation Figure 8 displays historical and current price-earnings ratios for the S&P 500 economic sector groups described above in the top panel, and analyzes earnings growth in 5-year, 3-year, and 1-year increments for each sector in the bottom two panels. Figure 9 shows two measures of historical and future valuation: historical PE ratios in the top panel and strategists’ two-year forecasts of earnings growth in the lower panel. The price-earnings ratios so far in 2006 continue to resemble last years’ observations for most S&P 500 economic sectors. The PE ratio for the energy sector was the lowest, at 10.1 on June 16. The consumer discretionary and information technology sectors currently have the highest PE ratios of 27.2 and 22.5, respectively (figure 8, top panel). The macro projections from strategists for the growth of earnings for the Standard and Poor’s 500 index over the next two years has been revised slightly upward to 6.7 percent in the first quarter of 2006 (Figure 9). Breadth of the S&P 500 During the first quarter of 2006, 82.5 percent of stocks in the S&P 500 had price increases from a year ago (figure 10, middle panel). The year-on- year median price percent change was negative for three deciles in the first quarter 2006 (figure 10, top). The median price earnings ratio decreased across the board in the first quarter of 2006, especially for the bottom decile, which fell 32.0 percent. The median price earnings ratio remains above the historical average price earnings ratio of 14.4 for six deciles (figure 10, bottom). Comparative Returns The earnings-price ratio increased 5.7 percent in the first quarter of 2006, the same increase as seen in the fourth quarter of 2005. The dividend-price ratio, an indication of the yield investors receive through dividends by holding stocks, was 1.8 percent during the first quarter of 2006, in line with its rate during the fourth quarter (figure 11). The operating profit payout rate for nonfinancial corporations rose to 52.8 in the first quarter of 2006, from 25.3 in the fourth quarter of 2005. This compares to payout rates of 23.0, 37.2, and 42.8 in the third quarter, second quarter, and first quarter of 2005, respectively (figure 12, lower panel). Moody's downgraded a higher dollar amount of Investment Grade Securities and Speculative Grade Securities than it upgraded in May (figure 14, top and middle panels). The default rate on junk bonds decreased slightly to 4.0 percent in May, after rising to 4.1 percent in April (figure 14, lower panel). The Stock Market Report is now available to the general public.

  • Predicting SARS-Cov-2 Infection Trend Using Technical Analysis Indicators

Predicting SARS-CoV-2 infection trend using technical analysis indicators Marino Paroli and Maria Isabella Sirinian Department of Clinical, Anesthesiologic and Cardiovascular Sciences, Sapienza University of Rome, Italy ABSTRACT COVID-19 pandemic is a global emergency caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection. Without efficacious drugs or vaccines, mass quarantine has been the main strategy adopted by governments to contain the virus spread. This has led to a significant reduction in the number of infected people and deaths and to a diminished pressure over the health care system. However, an economic depression is following due to the forced absence of worker from their job and to the closure of many productive activities. For these reasons, governments are lessening progressively the mass quarantine measures to avoid an economic catastrophe. Nevertheless, the reopening of firms and commercial activities might lead to a resurgence of infection. In the worst-case scenario, this might impose the return to strict lockdown measures. Epidemiological models are therefore necessary to forecast possible new infection outbreaks and to inform government to promptly adopt new containment measures. In this context, we tested here if technical analysis methods commonly used in the financial market might provide early signal of change in the direction of SARS-Cov-2 infection trend in Italy, a country which has been strongly hit by the pandemic.

  • Technical-Analysis-Bloomberg.Pdf
    TECHNICAL ANALYSIS Handbook 2003 Bloomberg L.P. All rights reserved. 1 There are two principles of analysis used to forecast price movements in the financial markets -- fundamental analysis and technical analysis. Fundamental analysis, depending on the market being analyzed, can deal with economic factors that focus mainly on supply and demand (commodities) or valuing a company based upon its financial strength (equities). Fundamental analysis helps to determine what to buy or sell. Technical analysis is solely the study of market, or price action through the use of graphs and charts. Technical analysis helps to determine when to buy and sell. Technical analysis has been used for thousands of years and can be applied to any market, an advantage over fundamental analysis. Most advocates of technical analysis, also called technicians, believe it is very likely for an investor to overlook some piece of fundamental information that could substantially affect the market. This fact, the technician believes, discourages the sole use of fundamental analysis. Technicians believe that the study of market action will tell all; that each and every fundamental aspect will be revealed through market action. Market action includes three principal sources of information available to the technician -- price, volume, and open interest. Technical analysis is based upon three main premises; 1) Market action discounts everything; 2) Prices move in trends; and 3) History repeats itself. This manual was designed to help introduce the technical indicators that are available on The Bloomberg Professional Service. Each technical indicator is presented using the suggested settings developed by the creator, but can be altered to reflect the users’ preference.

  • Be Financially Secure: Predicting Auto Stock Prices with Past Data
    Be Financially Secure: Predicting Auto Stock Prices with Past Data Rutvik Parikh Massachusetts Academy of Math & Science at WPI [email protected] Table of Contents Abstract 1 Introduction 1 Methods and Materials 3 Moving Average 3 Relative Strength Index (RSI) 4 Money Flow Index (MFI) 4 Rate of Change Indicator (ROC) 5 Models 5 Results 6 Discussion 9 References 13 Parikh 1 1. Abstract Deciding which auto stocks to invest in can be overwhelming and frightening for many individuals due to the great amount of past data available, and the ambiguity of its effects on future outcomes. Therefore, the goal of this project is to develop a model for auto stock price prediction using technical analysis based on multiple indicators. First, a few quantitative indicators were chosen to assist with prediction. Next, computer algorithms were used to calculate numerical values of these indicators using stock price data. These values were then employed to predict whether the closing price of a particular auto stock would rise or fall in the short term; distinct subsets of these indicators were tested in an effort to obtain the strongest and most helpful model. These models were tested on stock price data from several major auto companies, including General Motors, Subaru, and Ford. This data was from 2013 to 2018. The accuracies of the models were spread out over a range of 42% to 69%. The most successful model relied on the rate of change indicator, suggesting that this indicator may have been the most applicable to the auto industry during the aforementioned years. The performance of the models shows that technical analysis effectively gauges the future behavior of auto stocks.
