iM Update – June 23, 2023

 

Market Signals Summary:

The Hi-Lo Index of the S&P 500, the iM-Google Trend Timer and the CAPE-Cycle-ID are out of the stock markets.     However, the MAC-US as well as the S&P 500 Coppock Indicator are invested the Stock Market. Recession indicators that are signalling a recession are: BCIp is signalling a recession since end December 2022;  the Forward Rate Ratio between the 2 and 10 year rates inverted beginning August 2022; and the growth of the Conference Board’s Leading Economic Indicator is signalling a recession since November 2022.
