As we noted, we saw a change in trader behavior, switching to \u201cgood news is good news\u201d mode.&nbsp; But here\u2019s the problem with that rubric \u2013 it\u2019s not helpful when the news is bad.&nbsp; If there is a Santa Claus rally, Virginia, then we need to wait at least another day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tradersinsight.news\/traders-insight\/securities\/macro\/so-good-news-can-be-good-news-again\/\">Yesterday we rallied on good earnings<\/a> from stocks that could be economic bellwethers.&nbsp; Today we are sinking on the exact opposite.&nbsp; It\u2019s as though the bears said, \u201cI see your better-than-expected results in FedEx (FDX) and Nike (NKE) and raise you with worse-than-expected results in Micron (MU) and CarMax (KMX).\u201d&nbsp; In a way this brings together the unwinding of two key Covid-era themes.&nbsp; Negative real interest rates and semiconductor shortages created immense demand for new and used automobiles.&nbsp; The stocks of KMX and MU benefitted immensely from those now-reversing trends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the surface, the MU earnings don\u2019t seem all that bad.&nbsp; It\u2019s only down about 3% drop morning.&nbsp; Yet MU offered a gloomy outlook about supply\/demand mismatches in the semiconductor industry even as the stock flirts with two-year lows.&nbsp; This is causing an even larger selloff in that key sector, with the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (SOX) falling about 4.5% so far today.&nbsp; Just as FDX\u2019s could be considered supportive of corporate activity as a whole \u2013 they ship goods of all types \u2013 MU\u2019s woes are being extrapolated to the overall tech sector.&nbsp; That is problematic because technology stocks have the highest weighting in the S&amp;P 500 Index (SPX) \u2013 about 25% &#8212; while they represent the vast majority of the NASDAQ 100 (NDX).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With interest rates rising, it hardly seems surprising that the auto sector might find itself under pressure.&nbsp; But the KMX results show that the pressure is becoming worrisome.&nbsp; Their 3Q EPS of $0.24 missed estimates by over 60%.&nbsp; This comes after their 40% miss against 2Q estimates.&nbsp; The stock\u2019s current drop of \u201conly\u201d 7% (recovering from a 13% drop on the open) means that KMX investors had to be pricing in some sort of disappointment already.&nbsp; With its key competitor Carvana (CVNA) down over 90% from last year\u2019s high, it would be hard to think that KMX would be immune from CVNA\u2019s pressures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And now a range of other auto-related stocks are under pressure as well.&nbsp; Ford (F) and GM are down about 4.5% and 5.5% respectively.&nbsp; Tesla (TSLA), which announced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bing.com\/ck\/a?!&amp;&amp;p=33ee8459e291604bJmltdHM9MTY3MTY2NzIwMCZpZ3VpZD0yYjBlZmM3Yy03NWM0LTY3OTUtMzk3NC1mNzc5NzQ0MzY2OWUmaW5zaWQ9NTQ5Mg&amp;ptn=3&amp;hsh=3&amp;fclid=2b0efc7c-75c4-6795-3974-f7797443669e&amp;psq=tesla+%247500+credit&amp;u=a1aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubXNuLmNvbS9lbi11cy9tb25leS9jb21wYW5pZXMvdGVzbGEtb2ZmZXJzLTctNTAwLWRpc2NvdW50LWluLXJhcmUtbW92ZS10by1saWZ0LWRlbGl2ZXJpZXMvYXItQUExNXlNb1Q&amp;ntb=1\">a $7500 year-end incentive on its Model 3 and Y vehicles<\/a> today, is adding another 6.5% drop to its recent woes.&nbsp; Avis (CAR) which has a huge inventory of now-declining rental cars in its fleet, is also down 5% today.<a href=\"#_edn1\" id=\"_ednref1\">[i]<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Quite frankly, I don\u2019t recall ever paying much attention to used car prices until recently.&nbsp; They came into focus as a key driver of inflation, so those of us who pay attention to macroeconomic trends were forced to consider them in ways we never had before. &nbsp;It ultimately became one of many sectors whose supply\/demand calculus was dramatically distorted by the pandemic and our responses to it.&nbsp; If we were still in \u201cbad news is good news\u201d mode, traders might have been able to rationalize a rally based on improving inflationary pressures.&nbsp; But for today at least, unhelpful earnings news is keeping a Santa Claus rally on hold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#_ednref1\" id=\"_edn1\">[i]<\/a> Disclosure: The author owns TSLA and CAR puts and is short TSLA stock<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As we noted yesterday, we saw a change in trader behavior, switching to \u201cgood news is good news\u201d mode.
