Spreadex Market Update

Another session of convincing selling



After another session of convincing selling, today's trading brings with it a sense of reversal. Equity markets printed their lows at around the European open and have moved higher ever since, hinting to strength that could be established as a source of near-term momentum.

Something to note is how well large-cap, diversified miners have outperformed over the past few sessions in spite of the uptick in volatility. Whenever a particular sector that's been subject to an established trend shows premature signs of reversing that are also contrary to broader market moves, traders take note.

There's been so much bad news baked into the prices of miners that investors might look to question the downside. Indeed, those larger companies that are well-positioned to weather what the market's been pricing in are currently testing their average daily volatility numbers and are posting strong intra-day returns. If a catalyst can be found to support or invoke any move higher, prices could shift quickly against a backdrop of hunting for value and mean reversion. But trends have a habit of continuing in the short-term and taking with them the money of contrarian investors. Timing, as always, is crucial.
