The MSCI Emerging Markets Index (NYSEARCA: EEM) is essentially flat for the year, but the signs are growing that a bottom is in, and gains will be made over the next 4 to 6 quarters.

Good MorningEquity markets failed to advance despite a blowout report from NVIDIA. The reports cements the company as the leader in AI and led to a sell-off in other AI-related chip stocks. With the world leaning hard into NVIDIA chips to power data centers and AI, the other chip makers stand to lose market share and that caused the S&P 500 to fall more than 1.25% at the session's low.
The bad news for investors is that Thursday's decline confirms significant resistance at the 30-dau moving average. Resistance at the moving average could turn into a market sell-off, given the outlook for inflation and the Fed, and a catalyst is coming up next week. The July reading of the PCE price index is due out and may spook the market. The index doesn't have to be hot, only consistent with persistent inflation, to lead the market into believing what the FOMC is indicating; there will be at least 1 more interest rate hike this year.

| From Our Partners | | On August 19th, Bitcoin exploded 23% in a matter of days… triggering nearly $3 billion in short liquidations, the largest single-day squeeze crypto has seen since 2021.
Days earlier, BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager, argued the brutal selloff earlier this year was a leverage reset, not a breakdown. Speculative excess, in their words, had been "largely purged." Then the market moved exactly like they said it would.
Now, Standard Chartered says its $100,000 year-end Bitcoin target may be "too low"... with a possible run back to $126,000, its all-time high. We believe this is the start of something bigger… a setup that only comes around once every few years, where prices are still low right before the real move begins. | | See our #1 coin pick for this new bull run. |
