Jõulud on ukse ees ning jäänud veel vaid loetud päevad. Õnneks on jõulumeeleolu loomisele kaasa aitamas Eestit kattev ilus lumevaip. See-eest börsidel peaks antud nädalal kaubeldavad mahud olema keskmisest väiksemad, kuna iga mööduva päevaga läheb üha enam turuosalisi tegema viimaseid pühade ettevalmistusi.
Olulisi majandussündmusi USAst täna tulmas ei ole. Eelturul on tähtsamad indeksid, nafta ning dollari kurss võrreldes reedese sulgumisega suuremate muutusteta. -
Väga vaikne eelturg, kuid oluliste uudiste ja likviidsuse puududes on kauplejad aktsiaid aasta lõpus pigem üles ostmas. On turgudele teada-tuntud tõde, et 'don't short the dull market' ehk kui turgudel midagi põnevat toimumas ei ole, ei tasu selles seni ka lühike olla.
-
Euroopa oli valdavalt plussis ning ka USA alustab päeva tugevalt. S&P500 indeksi futuurid on eelturul tõusnud 0.6%, nafta on kerkinud ca 1% ja jõudnud tasemele $75 barrelist.

Look for Hot Sectors in a Rangebound Market

Genius is nothing but a great aptitude for patience.
-- George-Louis de Buffon
With 2009 rapidly winding down, we are at an interesting juncture as the market is sitting in a six-week-long trading range. Can we break out of that range and see a trend develop?
The bulls are optimistic that positive seasonality and money managers looking to add performance will drive us higher over the 7½ trading days left in the year. The bears, on the other hand, argue that many folks are ready to lock in gains and move to the sidelines, especially as they come to realize that we still are dealing with severe economic problems.
In a market like this, which is in a very choppy trading range, the best thing to do is focus more on individual stock-picking than overall market direction. Such stock-picking has been difficult, though, because there are no real clear pockets of momentum. We have had the oil and commodity trade for a while as the dollar trended down, but that reversed in the last week and now the chances look good that the dollar may bounce a bit more.
Other than the dollar trade, the trading themes have been very sparse. A lot of folks were looking for big-cap names, such as Apple (AAPL) , Google (GOOG) , Amazon (AMZN) , Priceline (PCLN) , Baidu (BIDU) and the like, to lead as money managers chased them in hopes of some relative outperformance. So far the group has been a very mixed bag, but those are still likely the "go to" names should we see a Santa Claus rally in the next two weeks.
The great thing about trading during the holidays is that we often have a positive mood, and traders will gravitate toward certain sectors and drive them up nicely. I'm still waiting for some better evidence of that occurring. We have had a little action lately in groups like solar energy, fertilizers, gold, small-cap China and natural gas, but it has not been smooth or persistent.
Rangebound markets can provide great opportunities, but you need to find what is hot and focus on those sectors. We'll see what comes to life this week and concentrate on those areas, but it has been a chaotic and uncertain market for a while, and we have to be careful not to force trades just because we are anxious to find some action.
We have some upbeat action to kick off the week, but Monday-morning gaps are always suspect. The news wires are fairly slow and will continue to be that way through the end of the year. It has been hard to make much progress lately as this market churns, so the important thing is to just keep at it until the opportunities come.
