Unlocking Stock Market Insights: Identify Global Opportunities with StockCharts’ Market Summary

The U.S. stock market has been painting a subtle picture recently. While the broader indexes, such as the S&P 500 ($SPX), Nasdaq Composite ($COMPQ), and Dow Jones Industrial Average ($INDU), are indeed grinding higher, the daily movements have been relatively subdued. This is a noticeable shift from the more dynamic action we observed in April.

Investors may be waiting for Wednesday’s May Consumer Price Index (CPI), the results of the U.S.-China trade talks, or the next market-moving news headline. What’s encouraging is the underlying strength in market breadth. We’re seeing a healthy number of one-month new highs across most broader indexes (with the exception of Dow Utilities), Bullish Percent Indexes signaling bullish tendencies, and investors gravitating toward offensive sectors vs. defensive ones.

On the surface, everything points to a continuation of the bullish trend. However, as astute investors, our primary objective is to protect our capital. This means we mus always consider the possibility of a downside correction and be prepared to adapt.

This is where the StockCharts Market Summary page becomes an indispensable tool for your market analysis.

Let’s dive into how the Market Summary page can help you gain a unique perspective on market dynamics.

Beyond the Headlines: Uncovering Global Trends

One of the powerful features of the Market Summary page is its ability to provide a global snapshot. If you navigate to the Global Snapshot tab in the Equities panel and sort the “+/- SMA(200)” column in descending order, you’ll notice something fascinating: the Eurozone occupies the top spot while the Total US sits at the bottom (see image below).

This insightful view suggests that global markets have been trending well above their 200-day simple moving average than the US market. This insight is worth a deeper dive.

Consider the daily charts of the iShares MSCI Eurozone ETF (EZU) and Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (VTI) which serve as proxies for these regions.

Since April 8, EZU has been on a steep ascent, demonstrating upward momentum. This price action is similar to the S&P 500, but if you consider the relative performance of the SPDR S&P 500 (SPY) vs. EZU, SPY is underperforming EZU (see bottom panel in the chart below).

FIGURE 2. DAILY CHART OF EZU. The ETF is exhibiting a steep ascent and is outperforming SPY. Will the trend become less steep or continue its steep uptrend? Be sure to monitor the RSI.Chart source: StockCharts.com. For educational purposes.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is showing lackluster momentum. Generally, a steep trend loses its mojo after a while and reverts to a more normal trend.

Meanwhile, though VTI has also moved higher, its percentage rise was slightly less than EZU. Also, as EZU hit an all-time high, VTI is still trying to reach that milestone (see chart below).

FIGURE 3. DAILY CHART OF VTI. The ETF is also exhibiting a steep ascent but is trying hard to reach its all-time high.Chart source: StockCharts.com. For educational purposes.

The RSI is showing lackluster momentum, similar to that of EZU, which could mean the steep ascent may be losing its steam.

Identifying Global Opportunities

It will be interesting to see how the global financial market evolves from here. Who will be the first to revert to a more normal sloping trend? Will EZU continue its outperformance, or will VTI take the lead?

And let’s not forget the global ETFs positioned in the middle of the pack. Regions like Asia (ex Japan), Latin America, or Emerging Markets could take the lead. For example, the Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets ETF (VWO) has exhibited a more classic uptrend. Over the past year, it has outperformed SPY by around 127% (see chart below). The RSI is also showing greater momentum than the other charts we analyzed.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Resolution Minerals Ltd (ASX:RML) has entered into a binding agreement to acquire the Horse Heaven Antimony-Gold-Silver-Tungsten Project (“Horse Heaven” or “Project”), located in the historical Stibnite Mining District of Valley County, central Idaho.
  • Horse Heaven shares its eastern boundary with NASDAQ-listed Perpetua Resources’ Stibnite Gold- Antimony Project (PPTA.NAS ~A$2bn market cap).
  • Horse Heaven hosts two highly prospective Gold- Antimony-Tungsten prospects known as the Antimony Ridge Fault Zone (“ARFZ”) and the Golden Gate Fault Zone (“GGFZ”).
  • Drill-ready targets; drilling planned to start in 2025
  • The Antimony Ridge Fault Zone has an approximate strike length of 1.2 km and hosts known gold–antimony– silver-tungsten mineralisation associated with hydrothermally altered and sheared granodiorite.
  • The Golden Gate Fault Zone has an approximate strike length of 3.5km and hosts the Golden Gate Hill target. It hosts known disseminated gold mineralisation, like Antimony Ridge Fault Zone, associated with hydrothermally altered and sheared granodiorite.
  • Tungsten was produced from Golden Gate Hill between the 1950’s and 1980’s.
  • Results from past systematic sampling and preliminary drilling at both prospects are highly encouraging, indicating large tonnage mining potential.
  • Highlight past rock chip results at Horse Heaven (Antimony Ridge) (Appendix C) include:
    • Rock chip sample 329003 with 3.68g/t gold, 303g/t silver and 2.72% antimony over 4m.

  • Historical, non-JORC gold resource of 216,000 ounces of gold in 7,256,800 tons of material at a grade of 0.93g/t at Golden Gate Hill, and gold resource of 70,000 ounces of gold in 3,174,850 tons of material at a grade of 0.69g/t at Antimony Hill are noted in previous reports of Horse Heaven.

Cautionary note:

The estimate is a ‘historical estimate’ under ASX Listing Rule 5.12 and is not reported in accordance with the JORC Code. A Competent Person has not yet undertaken sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as mineral resources or ore reserves in accordance with the JORC Code. It is uncertain that, following evaluation and/or further exploration work, it will be possible to report this historical estimate as mineral resources or ore reserves in accordance with the JORC Code.

  • Horse Heaven also hosts 10km to 15km of additional strike length of potentially mineralised faults and shears traversing favourable host rocks.
  • The Exploration Model applicable for the Horse Heaven Project is Intrusion Related Gold System (“IRGS”) and a deposit analogue for the Horse Heaven Project is the adjacent NASDAQ-listed Perpetua Resources Corp (PPTA.NAS, ~A$2 billion market cap) owned Stibnite Gold Mine.*
  • The Stibnite Gold Mine is located 5km to the east of the Horse Heaven Project and, once reopened, will be the only domestically mined source of antimony in the U.S.1
  • Past exploration at Horse Heaven includes historical (1890 to 1950), late 1900s (1970 to 1990s) and modern (2000 to 2023) exploration phases, with the latter mainly conducted by TSX-V-listed Stallion Uranium Corp.
  • Antimony, Tungsten and Gold at record high prices as China tightens grip on critical minerals exports.
  • The Horse Heaven Project complements the Company’s recently acquired Australian Au-Sb-Cu projects to create a dynamic portfolio highly leveraged for gold and antimony.

RML’s Executive Director, Aharon Zaetz commented:

“The Board considers that the acquisition of the Horse Heaven Project has the potential to be a transformative event for RML. As many governments around the world look to onshore their supply of critical minerals, such as antimony and tungsten, we have secured a commanding ground position with known antimony occurrences and next to what is likely to become the largest antimony producer in the USA.

RML’s entry into US critical minerals comes at a terrific time, with the market attributing huge premiums to ASX-listed companies operating in the space over the last 8 weeks, such as Dateline Resources (DTR), Trigg Minerals (TMG) and Locksley Resources (LKY) which have all seen significant re-ratings in recent weeks, thanks to the supportive pro-mining policies of new President Donald Trump.”

Chipotle to launch Adobo Ranch dip after sluggish start to the year

Chipotle Mexican Grill is hoping that Americans’ love for ranch will boost its sales.

On June 17, the burrito chain is launching Adobo Ranch, a spicier take on the iconic condiment that has transcended salads to adorn pizza, chicken wings and chips. The menu item is Chipotle’s first new dip since queso blanco, which launched in 2020.

The debut comes as Chipotle tries to recover from a rough start to the year. In the first quarter, the company reported its first same-store sales decline since 2020. Executives cited a pullback from consumers who had become more concerned about the economy.

The company also lowered the top end of its outlook for full-year same-store sales growth and said traffic wouldn’t grow until the second half of the year.

Shares of Chipotle have fallen 12% this year, dragging its market cap down to $71 billion.

But Adobo Ranch could help to boost the company’s sales if it draws cautious diners back to the chain’s restaurants.

The dipping sauce is made with adobo peppers, sour cream and herbs and spices, according to the company. Adding Adobo Ranch to an order will cost an extra 75 cents.

Ranch outsells ketchup, although NIQ retail sales data shows that mayo still holds the top spot as the favorite condiment of U.S. consumers.

Walmart is using its own fintech firm to provide credit cards after dumping Capital One

Walmart’s majority-owned fintech startup OnePay said Monday it was launching a pair of credit cards with a bank partner for customers of the world’s biggest retailer.

OnePay is partnering with Synchrony, a major behind-the-scenes player in retail cards, which will issue the cards and handle underwriting decisions starting in the fall, the companies said.

OnePay, which was created by Walmart in 2021 with venture firm Ribbit Capital, will handle the customer experience for the card program through its mobile app.

Walmart had leaned on Capital One as the exclusive provider of its credit cards since 2018, but sued the bank in 2023 so that it could exit the relationship years ahead of schedule. At the time, Capital One accused Walmart of seeking to end its partnership so that it could move transactions to OnePay.

The Walmart card program had 10 million customers and roughly $8.5 billion in loans outstanding last year, when the partnership with Capital One ended, according to Fitch Ratings.

For Walmart and its fintech firm, the arrangement shows that, in seeking to quickly scale up in financial services, OnePay is opting to partner with established players rather than going it alone.

In March, OnePay announced that it was tapping Swedish fintech firm Klarna to handle buy now, pay later loans at the retailer, even after testing its own installment loan program.

In its quest to become a one-stop shop for Americans underserved by traditional banks, OnePay has methodically built out its offerings, which now include debit cards, high-yield savings accounts and a digital wallet with peer-to-peer payments.

OnePay is rolling out two options: a general purpose credit card that can be used anywhere Mastercard is accepted and a store card that will only allow Walmart purchases.

Customers whose credit profiles don’t allow them to qualify for the general purpose card will be offered the store card, according to a person with knowledge of the program.

OnePay hasn’t yet disclosed the rewards expected for making purchases with the cards. The Synchrony partnership was reported earlier by Bloomberg.

“Our goal with this credit card program is to deliver an experience for consumers that’s transparent, rewarding, and easy to use,” OnePay CEO Omer Ismail said in the Monday release.

“We’re excited to be partnering with Synchrony to launch a program at Walmart that checks each of those boxes and will help serve millions of people,” Ismail said.
