Weekend update - World equity markets

It was a mixed month for world equity markets, with net monthly changes ranging from +3.5% (Russia), +2.4% (Australia), +1.0% (India), +0.7% (Germany), +0.6% (Brazil), -0.1% (USA), -0.2% (Japan), -0.7% (China), -1.1% (Hong Kong), to -3.1% (South Africa).

Lets take our regular look at ten of the world equity markets.

USA - Dow

The mighty Dow settled -26pts (0.1%) to 34502, the first net monthly decline since January. Monthly momentum ticked lower for the first time since Oct'2020. I would note first support of the 10MA in the 31000s.


Germany – DAX


Japan – Nikkei


Brazil – Bovespa


Russia - RTSI


India – SENSEX


China – Shanghai comp'


South Africa – Dow


Hong Kong – Hang Seng


Australia – AORD


Summary

Five world equity markets were net higher for June, with five net lower.

Russia and Australia were strongest, whilst Hong Kong and South Africa struggled.

The German, Brazilian, Indian, and Australian markets broke new historic highs.

All ten world equity markets are trading above their respective monthly 10MA, and I thus see the m/t trend in all ten as bullish.

Final note

We're only two trading days into July/Q3/H2, and we already have a new historic high for the SPX and Nasdaq comp'. All those crash calling maniacs are going to have to remain in their basements for much, if not all, of the summer.  

A correction of >10% appears far more viable after Labor day. In particular, I'd look to WTIC, any price action >$77.00 would be decisive, and offer $100 before year end. The implications of the latter should be quite clear.

For more charts, and whatever else I want to post about - outside the control of the mainstream media hacks, you know where to find me in... the twilight zone.
