It&#8217;s Jose Torres again, Interactive Brokers IBKR Podcast. I&#8217;m joined with the Chief U.S. Strategist of NDR Research, Ned Davis Research, and that is Ed Clissold. Once again, welcome, Ed. Happy to have you here.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ed-clissold-nbsp\"><strong>Ed Clissold<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks for having me back. Looking forward to chatting again.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-jose-torres-nbsp\"><strong>Jose Torres<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>So it&#8217;s May 1st, and stocks are off to their eighth consecutive gain\u2014eighth day in a row of gains. But before we get into that, I know you have a lot of insightful things to say about equities. Tell us a little bit about NDR Research\u2014what you do, what you guys do, and where can folks learn more about your offerings?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ed-clissold-nbsp-0\"><strong>Ed Clissold<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>So probably the easiest way to do that is\u2014we have an email set up for Interactive Brokers. It&#8217;s just <a href=\"mailto:ib@ndr.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>ib@ndr.com<\/strong><\/a>. That&#8217;s <a href=\"mailto:ib@ndr.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>ib@ndr.com<\/strong><\/a>. Email there and we can get you some more information. Also, of course, we have our website at <strong>ndr.com<\/strong>. That&#8217;s <strong>ndr.com<\/strong>. You can look us up there as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-jose-torres-nbsp-0\"><strong>Jose Torres<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>And what kind of stuff are you providing\u2014I know, but for the listeners\u2014what&#8217;s your recent topics? What kind of research angles have you been providing in the group? What are some exciting things that have been happening at NDR lately?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ed-clissold-nbsp-1\"><strong>Ed Clissold<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We cover the main asset classes, and not only in the U.S., but globally. So you&#8217;re looking at stocks, bonds, cash. Within equities, we focus on style boxes, sector work, and also thematic opportunities\u2014so anything that doesn&#8217;t necessarily fit into the neat sector lineup. Some ideas as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And then we cover fixed income in detail, and currencies, as well as global economics. And I think what a lot of people like about NDR is\u2014we&#8217;re very data-oriented. Of course, everybody says they&#8217;re data-oriented. Nobody&#8217;s gonna come in there and say they just wing it. But really, for us, it&#8217;s all about our data and our process, and we&#8217;re following that process.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So if you want an objective view that isn&#8217;t somebody&#8217;s opinion or preconceived notion about any of those asset classes, that&#8217;s where NDR is.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-jose-torres-nbsp-1\"><strong>Jose Torres<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>So great. Now eight days in a row of gains. The S&amp;P was almost in a bear market\u2014actually, effectively was in a bear market for maybe five minutes or less or whatever\u2014when we went down to roughly 4830 or something like that. But now we&#8217;re up in the mid-5560s. What are you telling your readers, your listeners? How are you thinking about the state of the markets these days?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ed-clissold-nbsp-2\"><strong>Ed Clissold<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The markets get into a downtrend\u2014they tend to go through a four-step bottoming process. And we&#8217;ll talk about it here. This is mostly technical and sentiment-driven, and we can talk about the macro and the fundamental\u2014how things look a little bigger picture in a minute. But for right now, look\u2014the four steps are: oversold, rally, retest, and then breadth thrust.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clearly, the market got incredibly oversold. Probably the easiest stat to remember is that the two days after Trump&#8217;s Liberation Day announcement, the S&amp;P fell 10.5%. There&#8217;s only been three other times post-war where the S&amp;P fell 10% in two days. That was in October 1987\u2014I\u2019ll remember that one\u2014November of 2008, that was right around when Lehman was being liquidated, and then in March of 2020 during the pandemic\u2014and then April. So it tells you just how oversold the market got.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also have the sentiment composite. It has about 25 different sentiment gauges in there\u2014things that probably a lot of our listeners see every day: call ratios, the VIX index. Also some polls of individual and institutional investors. We get 25 of them together, we average them all to give you a number\u2014and it was the most [extreme].&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you remember, that\u2019s when the market was falling apart. Powell was determined not to cut rates. The market was telling him that he needed to, and then he capitulated. But that tells you just how washed-out sentiment was. So you got that first thing\u2014the oversold\u2014clearly checked.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, over the next few weeks, we got lots of rallies, but they really didn\u2019t stick around. Those were not really robust enough for us to say, &#8220;Oh, that was it.&#8221; Instead, what the market was doing was it was going through that step three: the retest phase.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, what you want to look for on those retests are signs of less selling pressure. So it doesn\u2019t mean the S&amp;P, the Dow, and Nasdaq\u2014they can actually make new lows\u2014but it\u2019s really about things like less volume, less downside volume, fewer stocks falling below their moving averages, fewer stocks making new lows.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And so if you go back even just a couple of weeks ago, before we started this run\u2014if you think like last Monday, the market was down 4% intraday\u2014Trump had said he couldn\u2019t get rid of Powell soon enough. And then the market rebounded intraday. But from there, we got pretty close to lows on the major averages, but the breadth was much better. So we said at that point, &#8220;Hey, this looks like a pretty good retest.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now let&#8217;s keep an eye on step four\u2014those breadth thrusts. So &#8220;breadth thrust&#8221; is a funny term, but what it really means is stocks moving up together.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can measure it\u2014you can have advancing volume (all stocks that went up in the day, what&#8217;s their volume) versus declining volume (stocks that went down in the day). If that\u2019s a really high ratio of advancing to declining volume, that\u2019s an example\u2014we got that.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You also would like to string together, say, five days of advances beating declines by a wide margin\u2014we\u2019ve gotten that. There\u2019s another one that people have followed\u2014it was pioneered in technical analysis\u2014just looking at advances and declines over 10 days, and we got a signal from that where we got a really high number.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So we\u2019re really starting to stack these things together. Now, we have 12 breadth thrust indicators we follow\u2014we\u2019ve tested it back historically. We really need five to say we\u2019re in the clear. As of right now, we\u2019re sitting at four. We\u2019ll see at the end of the day today if we get a fifth one\u2014it\u2019s quite possible.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So it looks like we\u2019re getting through that bottoming process. But again, we gotta let the data speak for itself. But that\u2019s how we\u2019re looking at things right now.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-jose-torres-nbsp-2\"><strong>Jose Torres<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It seems like we\u2019re getting close to mid-year now and past President Trump\u2019s first hundred days. It seems like investors are enthusiastic. We got a GDP report yesterday that was a contraction\u2014really, it was driven by a huge surge in imports. That, from my economist lens, points to net exports\u2014so the difference between exports and imports\u2014turning from a significant headwind in the first quarter to actually a pretty sizable tailwind in the second quarter.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And when I think about what investors can get excited about, there are so many things: agreements, taxation package, mild deregulations, continuation of low oil prices. All these things just add further fuel to the fire of this rally. I think that\u2019s part of the reason why we\u2019ve had eight days in a row.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And then President Trump is also behaving\u2014he calls out Powell, but he vents, and then some other cabinet members\u2014maybe Lutnick\u2014sit him down and maybe calm him down a little bit. And the next day, he changes his tone. Same thing on trade\u2014really aggressive in the beginning, now more in the middle.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It seems like maybe we\u2019re at an inflection point and we can have a more, less bumpy ride from here.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ed-clissold-nbsp-3\"><strong>Ed Clissold<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I think you hit a lot of really important points there, Jose. And trying not to become too much of a guesser about what\u2019s going on in Trump\u2019s head at the moment\u2014it does seem like maybe they\u2019ve come back from the abyss, which was the idea of just going full steam ahead. And maybe the markets were telling Trump that\u2019s not going to work.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And not just the stock market\u2014the bond market too. It was very unusual. Bond yields were not just rising, but really spiking higher, while other risk assets like stocks were going down. And the administration said their main interest was long-term interest rates, and they weren\u2019t achieving their objective.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, was that part of a master plan\u2014to maybe start off asking for a whole lot and then walk it back and claim victory? I\u2019m not going to venture to guess what the long-term plan was, if there was one. You\u2019re right that now we\u2019re at a more reasonable point.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And in terms of that GDP, yeah\u2014there was an absolute pull-forward on trade. If you look at personal consumption expenditures, which is the main part of the U.S. economy that contributed, we did 1.2% to GDP growth last quarter. Down some from the last few quarters, but still in expansion territory.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if you looked at real final sales\u2014excluding inventories, trade, and federal government stuff\u2014that was still solidly positive. Coming into all this, I think the message was: the economy was in decent shape. And now we\u2019re just going to have to see from here what the negative consequences are. There will be some\u2014let\u2019s not try to sugarcoat it. We\u2019re going to get some rough economic data over the next couple of months. It\u2019s just reassuring to think that we came into it in decent shape.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-jose-torres-nbsp-3\"><strong>Jose Torres<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another thing that investors can look forward to that I didn\u2019t mention earlier was Fed rate cuts. It\u2019s May 1st\u2014three consecutive days of weaker-than-expected labor market data. Tuesday: JOLTS. Wednesday: ADP\u2014big miss, down to 62,000 headline payroll gains roughly. Then today, on unemployment claims, we got continuing claims up to the highest level since November of 2021, and initial claims jumping up to 241,000, which is escaping its range of roughly 220, 215, 225.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But we also got\u2014and to your point\u2014a really bad Prices Paid number on ISM Manufacturing today. It got up almost close to 70. I think though that the low oil prices are really going to cushion goods price pressures. I\u2019m hoping\u2014that\u2019s part of the bull case.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As far as consumer spending\u2014Ed, one thing that I thought was huge: January and February were terrible months from a consumer spending perspective. But they really came out in March\u20140.7% in real terms because inflation was zero, so 0.7% volumes\u2014and that negated the first two months. Business investment I thought was incredible\u2014added 3.6%, albeit we didn\u2019t get a positive number because imports subtracted five.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What kind of bad economic data are we talking about here? Are you more worried about an inflationary uptick or a consumer spending retrenchment?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ed-clissold-nbsp-4\"><strong>Ed Clissold<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yeah, I think there\u2019s a couple things to consider here.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One is, let\u2019s look at consumer spending. And when you\u2019re talking about consumer spending, one of the things\u2014one of our mantras at NDR\u2014is: don\u2019t count out the American consumer. If there\u2019s something we love to do, it is to spend money.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And so what it\u2019s really tied to is the labor market, because for a few years we had this cushion from COVID with excess savings. Except for the highest of income earners, that\u2019s largely been spent off. And for the highest income earners, it really is dependent on the labor market.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And so that\u2019s where we want to keep an eye on things. Because if the labor market weakens too much, then you\u2019re going to see a decline in consumer spending. Are we going to see weaker consumer spending? I think we will\u2014because you\u2019re already starting to see signs of less hiring, a little bit harder to get a job if you\u2019re looking for one. That\u2019s continuing claims.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So it\u2019s going to be there to some extent, but as long as we\u2019re still adding jobs every month, then the consumer could be okay. Our macro team thinks there\u2019s absolutely a risk of a recession\u2014and we can talk about all the downside stuff in a minute if you want\u2014but I think that\u2019s part of it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, the inflation side\u2014we can take core inflation and put it in three buckets. You talked about energy prices, which we don\u2019t want to dismiss, but for core inflation you\u2019ve got goods, you\u2019ve got housing, and you\u2019ve got all the other stuff\u2014what we call \u201csupercore.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The housing part had actually been coming down. But as we get into the second half of the year\u2014tariffs, multifamily home prices, apartment rents\u2014really, we\u2019re likely to start rising next year because we\u2019re going to have a lack of supply. It takes about three years to build an apartment complex. Three years ago, the Fed was hiking aggressively, so that kind of brought that to a halt. That would obviously bleed into single-family homes too. So there\u2019s a risk there in the second half of the year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And then you get into the goods side of things\u2014that was actually mildly deflationary. If you look at the CPI for goods, it had been negative for well over a year, each month. Now it\u2019s starting to turn positive. You throw on some tariffs\u2014that\u2019s going to be positive. And so that\u2019s going to make the Fed\u2019s job a little bit harder.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think most people expect them not to do anything in May. It\u2019s quite possible that they could cut two or three times later in the year. They\u2019re just going to need to get enough evidence that the inflation data is more of a one-time shot and not something that\u2019s going to be stacking on top of itself.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So that\u2019s where we go. Obviously, I look at\u2014not just inflation, not just consumer spending\u2014but both of them together. But I\u2019d say: keep an eye on the labor market.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-jose-torres-nbsp-4\"><strong>Jose Torres<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing about the labor market is, sometimes since 2017\u20132018, we&#8217;ve had this dynamic where job openings have been significantly above the number of unemployed folks. At the peak, we had more than a 2-to-1 ratio. But the issue was that we had a mismatch. The job openings we had couldn\u2019t be filled with the skills of the unemployed. Something tells me that dynamic still exists. We&#8217;re not going to have those kinds of upticks in unemployment that we had pre-2008 and before that. I guess that\u2019s one reason to stay optimistic\u2014there\u2019s just a shortage of skilled labor, it seems.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And in general, in the NFIB survey, which is for small businesses\u2014which make up roughly 50% of employment in America\u2014they\u2019ve been complaining for years about labor quality and not being able to find capable workers. So I\u2019m hoping that the labor market can stay strong. But it definitely can deteriorate as well. We&#8217;ve already seen a pretty\u2014I&#8217;d call it a weird kind of softening in the labor market. We have the hiring rate really down. We have this dynamic where continuing claims are really elevated, but initial claims aren\u2019t. And it takes a while to get a job if you lost one or if you quit one.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But if you\u2019re already in a job, there\u2019s not that much pressure from an employment perspective\u2014apparently not even in the federal government, according to what Elon Musk said a few days ago.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, shifting gears a little bit\u2014what do you think about equity sectors from here? I know your followers and your audience really like what Ed Clissold has to say about sectors and growth\/value kind of dynamics. Where\u2019s your head at for those kinds of concepts?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ed-clissold-nbsp-5\"><strong>Ed Clissold<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>So before I get into that, there&#8217;s something I want to address&#8230;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jose Torres<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sure.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ed-clissold-nbsp-6\"><strong>Ed Clissold<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Where I think the rubber&#8217;s going to meet the road is if you&#8217;re looking at companies\u2019 earnings reports as they come out\u2014gross margins, I think, are going to be the focal point this cycle.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reason I say that is: what&#8217;s in gross margins? It&#8217;s sales minus cost of goods sold. Tariffs are going to hit that harder than maybe we\u2019ve seen in the last few cycles. And we looked at recessions\u2014not saying there&#8217;s going to be a recession; we want to be clear\u2014there&#8217;s increased recession risk. We&#8217;re not calling for one outright. But you can use them as an example.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the 1990s, gross margins have fallen a lot less than, say, pre-tax margins or even operating margins like income before a drop\u2014because there\u2019s a lot of leverage in the system, so companies felt it further down. But in 1990, actually, the gross margins\u2014that&#8217;s where the pain was. And that&#8217;s when maybe the economy was a little bit different\u2014more manufacturing-based.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So if tariffs hit hard, then companies are going to say, \u201cWe\u2019ve got to protect the gross margin.\u201d What\u2019s the biggest input for gross margins? It&#8217;s actually not the goods themselves\u2014the materials\u2014even when you throw in tariffs. For most companies, labor is by far the biggest part of cost of goods sold. And so that&#8217;s where I think the risk is. If tariffs hit margins too much, then companies are going to say, \u201cI\u2019ve got to cut here.\u201d And what\u2019s the best way to do it? If I can\u2019t cut input costs, I\u2019m going to have to cut labor\u2014which means firing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So that\u2019s where the risks are. Again, it\u2019s not a zero risk\u2014there\u2019s a very real chance that companies feel compelled to cut.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, getting into sectors: where we are right now is\u2014we\u2019re overweight utilities and consumer staples. So two kind of defensive sectors as we navigate through. And ironically, up until very recently, even as the market rebounded from those early April lows, defensive sectors really held in there pretty well. It kind of tells you where sentiment was. They withstood a more difficult economic environment, but also the cost structures were maybe a little more favorable.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Healthcare is another area we have our eye on. Coming before you head into an election\u2014if the incumbent party loses\u2014healthcare usually underperforms because it\u2019s a popular whipping boy for a lot of politicians. So you say, \u201cOh my goodness, new party in control\u2014they\u2019re going to really shake up healthcare.\u201d That happened in 1992 when Clinton came in. Certainly, through RFK Jr., there&#8217;s been a lot of talk about that this time. And healthcare underperformed coming into the election. After a couple of months, healthcare tends to rebound, because usually the bark is worse than the bite. And that\u2019s what we\u2019re starting to see from healthcare as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So then the final thing I\u2019d say here is that we\u2019re starting to see some pretty resilient earnings reports from technology. And there\u2019s been some carve-outs from tech from some of the worst of the tariffs. So through maybe some political maneuvering, those earnings may be in better shape. That\u2019s another area to take a look at.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the final point is\u2014the energy sector. I think because of what you talked about\u2014low oil prices\u2014it could be a tough one. And Trump\u2019s been putting pressure on OPEC to increase drilling. So maybe that\u2019s not a sector to focus on at the moment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-jose-torres-nbsp-5\"><strong>Jose Torres<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>So it sounds like you have more of a value orientation?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ed-clissold-nbsp-7\"><strong>Ed Clissold<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>So officially it\u2019s neutral, because we think that there\u2019s the tech possibility. But I think\u2014if you take a look at our overweights\u2014yeah, it\u2019s more staples, utilities. That\u2019s a defensive value tilt, for sure.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-jose-torres-nbsp-6\"><strong>Jose Torres<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>So in conclusion, Ed\u2014what\u2019s the last thing you want to say about the state of the markets before we go?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ed-clissold-nbsp-8\"><strong>Ed Clissold<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yeah, the thing I like to say\u2014we talked about a lot of the bottoming process and positives. But we\u2019re really going to get some messages over the next few months, and some of these messages are going to be pretty scary\u2014about the state of the economy, about corporate profits. There may be some downward revisions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So just make sure you have a long-term plan and you&#8217;re sticking to that long-term plan. Now is the time for diversification\u2014and not necessarily making big bets on any one sector, one stock\u2014because this could break a lot of different ways.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-jose-torres-nbsp-7\"><strong>Jose Torres<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>So now is not the time to be a hero.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ed-clissold-nbsp-9\"><strong>Ed Clissold<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yeah, exactly. What do we say? The big money\u2019s made on the big moves. And so there\u2019ll be a time when the trend is clear, the path is clear\u2014and maybe that\u2019s a time to push some more chips on the table. We\u2019ll leave the heroes for the superhero movies, and leave the boring stuff to the intro investment portfolios. How about that?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-jose-torres-nbsp-8\"><strong>Jose Torres<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Folks, that\u2019s Ed Clissold of NDR\u2014Ned Davis Research.
