Market Recap

Indexes rallied on Tuesday on the back of a slightly cooler than expected YoY CPI, but monthly opex price action (tame) was mostly the theme for the week.

The Week Ahead

Quiet week on tap in terms of econ data and relevant earnings. In terms of remaining companies to report earnings it's really only NVDA (next week) and then AVGO in several weeks.

The S&P 500 has made new ATHs 7 of the last 8 weeks, but with only a couple of those weeks being in an impressive fashion. While I don't really care much about medium and longer term predictions (serves no purpose for us), the market continues to shake off any would be bad news and seems to want to rally back on anything negative.

Our shorter term data remains bullish and I expect more likely than not that individual signals will lean in that direction for the next week or two.

Also, we will be gradually implementing a new momentum model for Pure Alpha over the next few weeks to a month. This will be in addition to the existing model/methods that trades are derived from and as far as trade structures and risk management aspects there will be no changes. Obviously I expect this will enhance overall performance going forward but as always nothing is guaranteed.

I do expect it will result in more trades averaged per week, yet still keeping the strategies risk management protocols intact.
