Market volatility and weakness accelerated this week through Wednesday though U.S. Senate passage of a “bailout” measure may lead to a rebound on Thursday. In general, you should sell into strength and cautiously buy into weakness. Our emerging market signal is decidedly negative with the EEM down to 30 from a mid-January high of 46. It has not been at this low a level since early 2016 and got down to 20 at the bottom of the global financial crisis in 2008. Today we do a little selling, increase our S&P 500 Inverse ETF position marginally and add JPMorgan (JPM) to the watch list.

could be an enduring growth story. No surprise that our emerging market timer is mixed, in a very modest uptrend but still below 50- and 200-day moving averages

This week’s leading issue is the China virus, which is impacting markets.
We will need to keep an eye on this breaking issue. Still, Virgin Galactic jumped another 14% yesterday and is up over 80% in the last month.

Our emerging market timer is clearly positive and today’s recommendation is an emerging country that is the overlooked big winner from the two recent trade deals. It is in a nice uptrend and has fuel to burn going forward, backed by several positive trends.

Today we move south of the border for a new recommendation in a strong uptrend and way off its high.

Some weak economic numbers and political uncertainty about Hong Kong roiled markets a bit but emerging and international stocks rebounded a bit today. China stocks are getting some scrutiny in Washington amidst U.S.-China rivalry.
