[$$] Swings in Energy Prices Could Herald Broader Volatility
Volatility signals in markets such as high-yield bonds and currencies are picking up—a potential warning that the wild swings in energy prices this week could spread to other assets. Spreads on high-yield corporate bonds on Thursday hit the highest level this year, while bearish trading picked up on an exchange-traded fund that tracks the high-yield market. Meanwhile, volatility in the pound reached on Thursday its highest level since 2016—the year Britons voted to exit from the European Union.

[$$] Upside Earnings Surprises Have a Downside
The stock market used to reward companies for beating Wall Street analysts’ expectations of how much they could earn. From two days before the earnings announcement through the second day afterward, their shares have averaged a 5.5% loss. For that matter, the technology giants that have pulled the whole stock market downward—Amazon.com Inc., Google parent Alphabet Inc. and Apple Inc.—also beat earnings expectations only to have their shares fall.

Trump's trade war with China could disrupt the traditional Thanksgiving rally
The stock market is most focused on developments in U.S.-Chinese trade relations, and positive developments around the G-20 meeting, where President Trump meets his counterpart, could kick-start a rally while no progress could be a negative. Durable goods, existing home sales and earnings from retailers, such as Best Buy and Target, are on the calendar for the week ahead. Historically, the odds for a positive market the week before Thanksgiving are high with the Dow up in 19 of the past 24 years.

The U.S. dollar weakened and Treasury yields slid on Friday after a top Federal Reserve official said U.S. interest rates were near a neutral rate, while the S&P 500 ended positive after a seesaw session helped by optimism over U.S.-China trade ties. Uncertainty over Britain's exit from the European Union clouded currency and other markets. While the Fed is widely expected to raise rates in December, the number of hikes next year is a matter of debate.

Bloomberg•6 hours agoHoping Fed or Trump Can Save Stocks? Stifel Says Don't Bet on It
Not so fast, warns Barry Bannister, equity strategist at Stifel Nicolaus. With interest rates already too high for the market to handle, a softer Fed stance would ultimately be seen as a lack of confidence in the economy, squelching any equity gains, Bannister says. Or worse, it could complicate things in China, since a more amicable relationship with the U.S. would forestall the country’s ability to further devalue its currency.

S&P 500 Weekly Price Forecast – stock markets continue to look rough
The S&P 500 has fallen significantly during the week, reaching as low as 2680 or so, before bouncing. However, we have done a lot of technical damage in this market, and I think it’s only a matter of time before we continue to grind lower. Beyond that, I do see a level where the buyers would take over again.
