Summary

Rick Bensignor reviews technical setups in equities, rates, and gold. He sees the S&P 500/SPY as resilient but stalled near measured resistance and watching 762 support. He expects the 10-year Treasury yield to move higher, and gold to consolidate above a solid recent low.

  • S&P 500/SPY is stalled near its 782 measured target after the 779 all-time high.
  • A break under SPY 762 on multiple closes would raise concern.
  • The 10-year Treasury yield is expected to head higher with a minimum target of 5.6% and ultimate target of 6.07%.
  • Bensignor says 4% on the 10-year yield will not be seen again this cycle.
  • Gold sold off 30% from its peak, recovered about half, and is now consolidating.
  • The two-month-old low in gold is viewed as probably a solid low.

S&P stalls near 782 resistance
The S&P 500/SPY has been remarkably resilient but is stalled just below its measured SPY target of 782 after making an all-time high at 779; he is cautiously optimistic but worried if the market starts breaking under 762 on multiple closes.

Ten-year Treasury yields heading higher
The 10-year Treasury yield is ultimately heading higher from a secular technical perspective; he told clients in late March they would not see 4% again this cycle, sees a minimum upside target of 5.6%, and gives an ultimate target of 6.07.

Gold consolidating above a solid low
Gold is likely to consolidate for a while after selling off 30% from its peak and retracing about half of that decline; the low made two months ago is probably a solid low, but he does not expect an immediate scream to new all-time highs.
