The Broad Market Outlook:
June Swoon
Market and technical
indicators are strongly trending up.
Most economic indicators are trending down. That’s a recipe for a June market
swoon if we ever saw one. So enjoy the rally while it lasts. But if the economic
indicators don’t begin to rebound sharply in May and June, it’s going to be a
long, hot summer. You are forewarned.

Monday’s ISM number is the only likely candidate to throw a wet blanket on what
should be a rally week. Expect the FOMC to stand pat BUT
we would very much like to know whether the Fed is committed to buying
bonds at the long end of the curve to lower long term interest rates.
Sophisticated investors, journalists et al need to shift their focus away
from the short end and understand that operating on the long end is much more
effective in a world of deflation, slack business investment, and an impending
housing bubble.
