Weekly Commentary
NASDAQ Shrugs Off China Contagion Fears and Investors Buy the Dip

The week started with fears that a possible default by Chinese property developer Evergrande would destabilize world markets adding to worries that a correction is near as debt ceiling and infrastructure talks appear close to failing. This led to a sharp drop in the markets on Monday, taking the NASDAQ to below the 50 day average. The threat to world markets was soon seen as exaggerated and investors saw another opportunity to buy the dip. The NASDAQ is now just 3% below its September 7 high. However, failure to raise the debt ceiling and the defeat of the Biden agenda by factions in his own party would certainly threaten the continued economic recovery as many of the programs that have supported the economy over the last 18 months have been, or soon will be, withdrawn.
NASDAQ Chart
The problems with the site over the last month are now mostly resolved and I can return to its continued enhancement. Please tell me if any functions are not working as expected.

Chart of the Week
The financial sector gained 2.2% this week after the Fed's statement on Wednesday said that "our interest rate and balance sheet tools is providing powerful support of the economy and will continue to do so".

This chart shows that Charles Schwab reacted positively to statement and could be poised to breakout on Monday.
