US Indices diverge, but the NASDAQ fell hard overnight, a sign? Overnight, the Dow rallied 44 points, while the NASDAQ fell 39points; no doubt this is classic divergence. One of my favourite signals is that the NASDAQ and ASX200 often lead changes in trend. I remain short term bearish the ASX200; targeting sub 5,400, but if the US indices are now about to correct, we may fall to much lower levels of support. The local market over the last 3 years has seen almost all the heavy lifting by the yield play however, as we have witnessed over the last few weeks, when people get concerned over interest rates going forward, this can unwind very quickly. Basically, investors are reducing their appetite for risk and generally only prepared to buy/hold the large-cap stocks. If we get this anticipated pullback in the NASDAQ, our tech.stocks are likely to follow creating some excellent opportunities. (VIEW LINK)
