Morning Commentary
Perhaps Tuesday’s session was doomed from the start, but it was quite a down day. One could say it was a peculiar session that saw buyers emerge at low points, and when the final bell rang, market breadth was decidedly bullish.
Go figure!
Not only were there more advancers than decliners on the NY Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ Composite, and significantly more new highs than lows, but the volume also was extremely bullish.
There was almost 100% more up volume than the down volume on the New York Stock Exchange. This is huge, and investors should keep that in mind as there will be more calls for a broad market pullback and potentially increased volatility.

Home Sweet Home
Homebuilder sentiment has gone through the roof!
The headline read of 90 for November is a record high and well above the consensus of 85. It’s all about the massive stampede of folks from those large urban cities. Even before coronavirus, the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) index was moving higher, in part to older millennials forming households and moving out of big cities.
It’s all about the single-family home, which might not have the white picket fences anymore. But it is a throwback to different times in the United States.
