The Markets

Stocks gained on Monday amidst a rebound in bank stocks as some of the fears surrounding a banking crisis faded following the sale of Credit Suisse to UBS.  The S&P 500 Index closed with a gain of just less than nine-tenths of one percent, ending just shy of short-term resistance at the declining 20-day moving average (3960.25).  The short-term trend remains that of lower-lows and lower-highs stemming from the peak set at the start of February and momentum indicators have readopted characteristics of a bearish trend below their middle lines.  As has been emphasized previously, the December low at 3764 remains a critical hurdle on the downside as violation of this hurdle would return the benchmark to an intermediate path of lower-highs and lower-lows, thereby unleashing the next subset of the market that is willing to sell equity allocations.  The confluence of major moving averages in the range of 3900 to 4000 remains a formidable cap.  Seasonally, the period between now and the end of April tends to be positive for stocks, but with fundamentals lending themselves to a negative bias of risk assets and the technicals expressing caution of their own, there is little to be excited of this typically upbeat period ahead that runs into the spring.
