Stock market clues from the bond market

Preface: Explaining our market timing models

We maintain several market timing models, each with differing time horizons. The “Ultimate Market Timing Model” is a long-term market timing model based on the research outlined in our post, Building the ultimate market timing model. This model tends to generate only a handful of signals each decade.

The Trend Asset Allocation Model is an asset allocation model that applies trend-following principles based on the inputs of global stock and commodity prices. This model has a shorter time horizon and tends to turn over about 4-6 times a year. The performance and full details of a model portfolio based on the out-of-sample signals of the Trend Model can be found here.

My inner trader uses a trading model, which is a blend of price momentum (is the Trend Model becoming more bullish, or bearish?) and overbought/oversold extremes (don’t buy if the trend is overbought, and vice versa). Subscribers receive real-time alerts of model changes, and a hypothetical trading record of the email alerts is updated weekly here. The hypothetical trading record of the trading model of the real-time alerts that began in March 2016 is shown below.

The latest signals of each model are as follows:

Ultimate market timing model: Buy equities (Last changed from “sell” on 28-Jul-2023)*
Trend Model signal: Neutral (Last changed from “bullish” on 15-Nov-2024)*
Trading model: Bullish (Last changed from “neutral” on 15-Oct-2024)*

* The performance chart and model readings have been delayed by a week out of respect to our paying subscribers.

Update schedule: I generally update model readings on my site on weekends. I am also on X/Twitter at @humblestudent and on BlueSky at @humblestudent.bsky.social. Subscribers receive real-time alerts of trading model changes, and a hypothetical trading record of those email alerts is shown here.

Clues from the bond market

The S&P 500 made a marginal all-time high last week and pulled back. However, investors may find insights about the near-term outlook for equities from the bond market.

The accompanying chart shows how the VIX Index (middle panel, red dotted line, inverted scale) and MOVE Index (middle panel, black line, inverted scale), which is the VIX of the Treasury market, have mostly normalized their episode of pre-election anxiety. However, MOVE hasn’t fully normalized compared to VIX. We interpret this to mean that there is more room for Treasury yields to fall (bottom panel), which would be supportive of equity valuation.

The combination of sentiment returning to pre-election levels and the S&P 500 remaining in a well-defined uptrend leads us to believe that stock prices can continue to rise into year-end.
