1+ years ago… that was when we became alerted to the positive projections in the Semiconductor equipment sector, which meant that Semiconductor companies were ramping new inventory builds. This had positive implications for manufacturing as a whole since the Semi’s are a canary in the coal mine.
Today the canary is at critical long term resistance. That is all; no grand statements about what it is going to do or not do. But we can say that if resistance holds a bear case on the markets and the economy will probably gain an ally. If it breaks out, the measurements are noted.
