Market Signals Summary:
The MAC-US model is invested. Also, the “3-mo Hi-Lo Index of the S&P500” generated a buy signal on 10/3/2017 and is invested in the markets. The monthly updated S&P500 Coppock indicator is also invested. The MAC-AU is also invested. The recession indicators COMP and iM-BCIg do not signal a recession. The bond market model avoids high beta (long) bonds, and the yield curve seems to be flattening. Both the gold and silver Coppock models are invested, and the iM-Gold Timer is in gold since 7/10/2017.
