Asset Class: The US Stock Market
Title: Be Wary Of This Morning’s Rally

Despite this morning’s strong US stock market opening, recently contracting investor assets in both the S&P 500 and NASDAQ 100 combined with looming seasonal weakness in the S&P 500 warn that this strength may be unsustainable. Managers may consider protecting open profits / tightening protective strategies unless these ETF flows begin to significantly expand.

Chart 3 below shows that the first week of January is the seasonally strongest of the  entire 1st Quarter in the S&P 500, and then collapses into the second and third weeks of the month (the weeks of January 12th and 19th this year) which are the 4th and 2nd weakest of the quarter.  This seasonal weakness then extends further, into the final week of February which is the seasonally weakest of the quarter.
