Reaction to the U.S. Election

The U.S. November 05, 2024 election was historic and amazing.  The reaction of several markets was also historic and amazing.

All three main U.S. stock indices made new all-time highs.  Precious metals had huge movements down. Bitcoin had a huge move up.  Long-term U.S. Treasury yields had huge up movements.  

The daily S&P 500 (SPX) chart courtesy of BigCharts.com illustrates its action.

The very effective Slow Stochastic oscillator had a bullish lines cross and signals the uptrend could continue for at least several days. 

The next daily chart shows what happened with the CBOE 30- year Treasury Yields (TYX).

Surprisingly TYX had a big rally that exceeded 07/01/24 peak.  This movement with the daily Slow Stochastic bullish lines cross implies TYX could soon reach important resistance at the 04/25/24 top. 

Russell 2000 (RUT) also had a big increase which hit the stop loss level at 2,320.00 for the remaining half of a short position initiated at the open of trading on 09/23/24. The loss in the half  position was 2.00%.

The next blog will compare the SPX reaction after the November 2024 election with its reaction after the November 2016 election.
