Welcome to Markets in Motion, with Bruce Campbell, where we will explore trends, stocks to watch and economic impacts happening week-over-week.
In the video attached, we will discuss several topics this week which include the market sentiment, which in recent weeks, has been rattled by renewed concerns about a potential bubble. Michael Burry has returned to headlines with sizable put positions on high-profile names such as Nvidia and Palantir, sparking renewed volatility. On November 13, equity markets sold off broadly, adding to investor unease.
Several key indicators are in focus this week. Bitcoin has fallen back below $100,000—an important gauge for risk-on/risk-off sentiment in the past. However, gold is not confirming that risk-off signal. After a brief consolidation, gold has re-accelerated to the upside, supported by ongoing central bank buying and strong underlying demand.
Sector leadership has also shifted. After being largely ignored through the first half of the year, healthcare has come roaring back over the past six weeks. Many U.S. healthcare names are now posting new 52-week—and in some cases, all-time—highs.
During periods of heightened volatility, disciplined decision-making becomes essential. Our investment dashboard, which guides us between offensive, neutral, and defensive positioning, remains in “offense” mode. While some short-term indicators have begun to soften, neither our early-warning nor our intermediate and long-term indicators have rolled over. For investors using rules-based systems, these tools can help reduce emotional decision-making and determine whether to add or trim exposure.
