Review

The GSPR trend line has finally reversed from positive to negative, signaling the potential of an economic downturn. It was mentioned last week that given the high sector performance the last few weeks that it would be inevitable for the GSPR to drop at some point, which did happen this week. However the trend line is not strong enough to totally indicate an impending bear market. There is still room for the markets to adjust and resume growth as usual. However it would be prudent to note some of the negative performing sectors this week, namely Materials and Communications, that dropped far more drastically than their peers. Materials had maintained a significantly steady growth for the past few weeks, and for the sector to drop over two percent in a week is concerning. Unless it corrects itself by next week, the Material sector's growth streak may be coming to an end. Similarly, Communication Services suffered the worst. Its loss this week essentially wiped out all the gains it had accumulated last month, putting it as the first Stagnant Sector in this portfolio's history. Until it shows signs that can retain the growth seen in previous weeks and remain positive overall, Communication Services will risk a downgrade towards Falling Sectors alongside Real Estate and Utilities.
