Market Gauge
Gauge shifts lower as the U.S. Dollar and the Technical Picture both move to the "Unfavorable" column.
U.S. Dollar: A strengthening dollar could pose a risk for American exporters and emerging economies at a time when geopolitical uncertainty is heightened.
Technical Picture: Only 41% of S&P 500 firms' share prices are above their 200-day moving average, which is not a favorable indicator for the market.
See the report for more information about the Market Gauge and how it works. (last published October 16).
