ECRI: "U.S. Economic Recovery is 'Far From Fragile'"

  • sparked by worse than expected chicago pmi data, market participants on the whole are behaving pessimistically today...
  • i continue to believe in the rally, and as noted below, have been a buyer of weakness...
  • last week, ECRI said the following: U.S. Economic Recovery is 'Far From Fragile':

"A weekly gauge of future U.S. economic growth climbed higher in the latest
week, while its yearly growth rate reached a new all-time high, reaffirming
projections of a brisk, uninterrupted recovery..."

"...Last week, ECRI Managing Director Lakshman Achuthan told Reuters that the
group expects an "unstoppable" recovery with "no relevant roadblocks." Fears
over mounting unemployment, debt-laden consumers, and dips in recovery are
typical of recessionary times, he said.

"With WLI growth climbing to a fresh record high, the economic recovery is far from fragile," Achuthan said on Friday..."

  1. So far the market is retracing quite nicely, 50% of the down move just about with confirming tick +1k ticks along the way. I think getting above 1055-1050 and this may have been a big shakeout as volume was considerably lower than the last selling session.

  2. i am in the shakeout camp too...i would like to see the ES close above the 1053ish pivot for some more confirmation of the shakeout concept...
