Stock Power Daily — A Market in Flux

Stock Power Daily: January 29, 2023. [Turn Your Images On] A Market in Flux [Turn Your Images On] [Chad Stone, Managing Editor]( Dear Loyal Reader, Things are looking up. Inflation is cooling. The Federal Reserve reported the cost of goods and services increased by only 4.4% in December compared to a year ago — the lowest annual reading since October 2021. U.S. gross domestic product also rose 2.9% in the fourth quarter, beating expectations and quelling some recession fears. But something still doesn’t feel right. Big Tech earnings are rough. Intel shares [crashed]( 10% after a brutal earnings call that revealed a 32% year-over-year revenue decline. Microsoft’s outlook for the year ahead has cooled as well as growth slows within its core cloud business. (Of course, MSFT should benefit from a massive investment in one of [tech’s biggest mega trends]( It’s created a market in flux. This is the perfect environment for Stock Power Ratings. Adam O’Dell’s system is showing us exactly what sectors (and stocks) look most bullish as the market rotates. Maybe you’ve noticed the shift in Stock Power Daily. Last year was dominated by energy stocks (which still look bullish). But now, Matt’s finding opportunities within [industrial automation]( and [construction]( — not to mention a pandemic post-initial public offering [stock to avoid](. That’s just in the last week!

But producers and large consumers of oil were bullish. We know that based on data from the futures market. Every week, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission releases the [Commitment of Traders (COT) report]( which tells us who is buying and selling different commodities and futures contracts. The report assigns all positions in the market to one of three groups: commercials, large speculators and small speculators. Commercials are traders who hedge their positions in the market. This is easy to understand in the oil market because oil producers are a commercial trader in that space. They know how many barrels they expect to produce and have insights into demand. Rather than accept the risk of prices falling sharply, they can use futures to hedge their exposure and lock in prices they are comfortable with. Large speculators are typically hedge funds using futures as an asset class to generate returns for their investors. Small specs include individual traders who buy or sell a few contracts at a time. Right now, both large and small speculators are bearish. The chart below shows oil futures, and the indicator at the bottom is the COT data shown as an index. Low values indicate a group is bearish. Small traders (the red line) and hedge funds (the black line) expect lower prices. Only the commercials (the green line) are bullish. Bottom line: The traders who know the market best are buying. It could be best to follow the money and get into energy stocks before oil rallies.
