The Manheim Used Vehicle Value Index (MUVVI) rose to 203.9, a decline of 3.9% from a year ago. The seasonal adjustment to the index mitigated the impact on the month, resulting in values that rose 1.2% month over month. The non-adjusted price in August increased by 2.2% compared to July, moving the unadjusted average price down 4.6% year over year. emphasis added <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihn-xwdAKeI92wMV7hC8ybbQtbhpbGX1QtzTAMWO2JbMLufkt6jSSqijPP5PqmHe21tQfBK5Am9iN71V23hDDve4d9Yz1oHE3VlVWf-1hb5SYKtZOL_Wx9JwwvtX3zVfcNZWbVTatUF-nD0N0JReEZl-VUwia_IdcV2pUGw0wzqV_jP3KeVqf3/s1380/Ma...

#TLDRstocks It’s Already A Below Average September. What Now? Read the blog for more: https://drduru.com/onetwentytwo/2024/09/08/its-already-a-below-average-september-now-what-the-market-breadth/ #stockmarket #technicalanalysis #marketbreadth #AT50 #SP500 #NASDAQ $IWM #$SMH #shorts The S&P 500 is down 4.1% month-to-date. This loss makes this month a below average September for a maximum drawdown and fulfills September’s reputation as one of the index’s three most dangerous months of the year. As I noted last week, August’s extreme drawdown significantly increased the risk of September being worse than its average maximum drawdown of -2.9%. The market has realized this risk, so now what? Given market breadth is still quite a ways away from oversold trading conditions, I have to assume significant downside risk remains for this month. The volatility index (VIX) closed at a 1-month high and looks ready to go much higher. While the August calamity was unable to drive market breadt...

Semiconductors undercut 200-day MA
2 months ago by noreply@blogger.com (Declan Fallon) @ Fallond Picks

If a precendent was set by Friday's undercut of the 200-day MA in Semiconductors, then it could be a rough few weeks ahead for indices. The loss of the 200-day MA after such a recent test was not surprising, but given technicals are net bearish and not oversold, then the likelihood of a further support loss of the 4,290 swing low has increased. <img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="750" data-original-width="620" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihH_KDerFBACYYalOkb9E3OuYaqLI2pV9VZ8FzdmYb_PliRo33n5pwbOAdhJ9sb3coQ79-s2u5gHk4cu-v_eavwbmjzQj-ljqIGHSWGf7flRgyOgfhhJCaaKiYnnej...

Inflation Adjusted House Prices 1.6% Below 2022 Peak; Price-to-rent index is 7.7% below 2022 peak
2 months ago by Calculated Risk @ Calculated Risk

Today, in the Calculated Risk Real Estate Newsletter: Inflation Adjusted House Prices 1.9% Below 2022 Peak Excerpt: It has been over 18 years since the bubble peak. In the June Case-Shiller house price index released last week, the seasonally adjusted National Index (SA), was reported as being 73% above the bubble peak in 2006. However, in real terms, the National index (SA) is about 11% above the bubble peak (and historically there has been an upward slope to real house prices).  The composite 20, in real terms, is 2% above the bubble peak. People usually graph nominal house prices, but it is also important to look at prices in real terms.  As an example, if a house price was $300,000 in January 2010, the price would be $432,000 today adjusted for inflation (44% increase).  T...
