THE HEDGEYE DAILY OUTLOOK

TODAY’S S&P 500 SET-UP - November 9, 2011

As bad as Hedgeye was positioned from a Global Macro perspective into yesterday’s close will be as well positioned as I am this morning.  As we look at today’s set up for the S&P 500, the range is 27 points or -1.40% downside to 1258 and 0.71% upside to 1285. 

SECTOR AND GLOBAL PERFORMANCE

In the very immediate-term, bullish is as bullish does. If I were to use a 1-factor model (like the 200-day moving average), there would be no mincing of those words as of tonight’s close. Fortunately, I’ve learned not to use 1-factor/1 duration models. 

The bottom line from here is that VOLUME and VOLATILITY signals need to confirm this PRICE move to make it 3 for 3 on the factors that matter to me most (Price/Volume/Volatility). PRICE was a head-fake at the October 31stclosing high of 1285, so stay tuned.

Yesterday’s volume was 25% below the 30-day average. Today’s was down -13%. Tomorrow we need to see the juice. Volatility’s TREND and TAIL lines of support are 26.77 and 22.11, respectively.

All 9 Sectors in this model are bullish immediate-term TRADE (that’s not new) and 7 of 9 are bullish TREND (Financials and Basic Materials are the 2 bears on TREND and TAIL – Small Caps (Russell 2000) are also bearish TAIL w/ resistance up at 778. The SP500’s TAIL line remains 1268.

EUROPEAN MARKETS

ITALY – ring the royal Rubicon’s gong – because how people are chasing beta around this Berlusconi event is a certified gong show. They loved chasing yesterday’s US Equity close, now they hate everything Italy. Bond yields have gong parabolic as the MIB Index snaps its only remaining line of support (TRADE line of 15,894). Italy is crashing don’t forget – down -34.5% since its YTD high. Bullish?

ASIAN MARKETS

CHINA – Growth continues to slow. Period. Not falling off a cliff slow, but slower is what matters in our macro model and we don’t see Chinese GDP growth arresting the slope of its decline until Q1 of 2012. Inflation data came in right on our estimate at 5.5%, but look for that to shoot up again sequentially in November with Oil prices up here.
