The Markets
We will be taking a break from our daily reports for the next week and a half, therefore commentary will be limited. We will continue posting seasonal charts of companies reporting earnings as well as stocks/sectors entering their period of seasonal strength. Regular reports will resume on Thursday, October 23rd as we prepare for the period of seasonal strength ahead for equity markets.
Sectors and Industries entering their period of seasonal strength:
Albeit not an equity sector, the Australian dollar enters a period of seasonal strength that runs through to the start of November. The currency also gains on a seasonal basis between mid-March and early May. The seasonal profile of the currency very much resembles that of the broad equity market due to the cyclical exposure that the Australian economy has within the global marketplace.
