Tech Stocks Topped Out, S&P 500 3000 May Not Hold科技股见顶,标普500指数3000可能不能维持

News that more and more countries are opening up economies and news on COVID-19 vaccines and drugs developments are driving the stock market higher this morning. Dow opened up over 500 points and is now trading up over 600. Small company index Russell 2000 is the strongest among major indexes as it is up over 3.6%. Today's strong sectors are financials, industrials and energy while  weaker by comparison are the health care and technology sectors.  Tech stocks including AAPL, AMZN, FB, GOOG, MSFT and NVDA have been trending since open. As I pointed out in the last few posts warning that tech stocks have been moving up in a vertical fashion and not likely tot be sustainable, today they became the drag for the market.  The hot biotech/healthcare sector is also being sold right from the open in the face of positive COVID-19 vaccine and drug development news. Now that the S&P 500 has satisfy investors desire of breaking the 3000 level but it may not be sustainable as investors may use this opportunity to sell. As a lot of good news on economy reopening and COVID-19 vaccine and treatment developments have factored in the stock market price, it may be time to be cautious since tech stock has topped out, worries on whether reopening will be successful and trade war chance increases between US and China are the concerns.

。After months of relative quiet amid the coronavirus pandemic, thousands of protesters flooded the streets of Hong Kong, defying the city's ban on gatherings to voice their opposition to a new "national security" law proposed by Beijing which would threaten the city's autonomy and the civil liberties of its residents. The protesters, most of whom could be seen donning masks, were hit with tear gas less than an hour after the start of the demonstrations which resulted in at least 120 arrests-including 40 of which were people accused of blocking Gloucester Road. A water cannon truck was also deployed according to SCMP.

Referring to Beijing's 1984 agreement to grant Hong Kong, a former British colony, substantial autonomy through 2047, O ' Brien told CBS's "Face the Nation" that "it looks like they're violating that agreement."

This backrop has crimped investors' risk appetite and bolstered demand for Treasuries as a haven. Still, bond bears aren't giving up, emboldened by the easing of social-distancing measures across many US states and by the pipeline of Treasury supply that is growing larger. ---Bloomberg.com

US/China Tension Rises On China's Tough Stand On Hong Kong中国对香港的立场强硬，美中紧张局势加剧

US stocks opened down, bounced, and is mixed now trading in a narrow range with downside bias. Major news this morning is China said it's preparing to impose national security legislation on Hong Kong. This news drove the Hong Kong stock market dived over 5%. China also decided to dropped its annual economic growth target for the first time on economic uncertainty due to Covid-19. This news caused WTI crude oil dropping 3%. The oil sector is  down and is down nearly 2% and is the weakest stock sector this morning.  The real estate sector is the only S&P 500 stock sector that is up. The technology sector supported by better than expected earning from Nvidia (NVDA)is down only slightly.  In the face of negative news on Hong Kong and increasing tension between US and China, the US stock market is holding up surprisingly well. I guess investors are believing there are no place better to invest than the US stock market. However, China's tough attitude towards Hong Kong will definitely bring tension between China and the United States and  alsoWestern countries, who know what is going to happen in Hong Kong during the weekend as demonstration against the government is  being organized, the  S&P 500 failing to top the 3000 resistance, signs of topping of the FAAMG stocks , and potential selling before the long weekend all should serve to pressure stocks.

。Hong Kong is bracing for a new wave of demonstrations this weekend after China said it's preparing to impose national security legislation on the financial hub, a move that shows Beijing's legal force and will likely reignite tensions between pro-democracy protesters and the government.  Sources told the Financial Times that China's parliament would draft the new legislation and submit it immediately into Hong Kong's constitution. China's National People's Congress released an agenda Thursday saying it wants to "improve" national security protections in Hong Kong by curbing acts of treason, secession, sedition, and subversion. The measure would also allow for counter-terrorism operations against foreign interference in the city.  The legislation, slated for passage in the National People's Congress in Beijing next week, drew angry crowds in Hong Kong on Friday, and President Trump warned Thursday that the US would react "very strongly" to the planned legislation. ---Zero Hedge

美国股市开盘下跌，反弹，目前美股涨跌互见并在窄幅波动中带有下行偏向。今天上午的主要新闻是中国表示正准备对香港实施国家安全立法。这一消息驱使香港股市下跌超过5％。由于Covid-19造成的经济不确定性，中国还决定首次不设定年度经济增长目标。这一消息导致WTI原油下跌3％。石油板块下跌，跌幅近2％，是今天早上最弱的股票板块。房地产行业是标普500指数中唯一上涨的行业。英伟达（NVDA）的收入好于预期，这支持了科技行业的跌幅。面对香港的负面消息以及中美之间日益紧张的局势，美国股市今日表现出令人惊讶的良好表现。我猜投资者相信没有比美国股市更好的投资场所了。但是，中国对香港的强硬态度肯定带来中国与美国及西方国家的紧张，谁知道香港周末的反政府示威游行将会发生什么，另外标准普尔500指数未能突破3000阻力位，FAAMG股票有见顶的迹象，以及长周末前的潜在抛售都是打压股市上升的负面情况。

。在中国表示正准备对金融中心实施国家安全立法之后，香港准备在本周末发起新一轮示威活动。这一举动显示出北京的法律力量，并有可能重燃民主抗议者与政府之间的紧张关系。消息人士告诉英国《金融时报》，中国议会将起草新的立法，并将其立即提交香港宪法。中国全国人大周四发布了一项议程，称其希望通过遏制叛国，分裂国家，煽动叛乱和颠覆行为来“改善”香港的国家安全保护。该措施还将使反恐行动免受外国人对该城市的干扰。该法案定于下周在北京全国人民代表大会上通过，周五吸引了香港愤怒的人群，特朗普总统周四警告说，美国将对计划中的立法“非常强烈地反应”。---Zero Hedge

It Is The Tech Stocks We Should Worry About 我们应该担心的是科技股

Major US stock indexes opened up slightly and selling immediately rushed in taking the Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq down 0.46%, 0.77% and 0.75% respectively now. More than expected jobless claims and increasing tension between US and China are two of the reasons for the sell off. However, I believe technical condition is the main reason.  In the past 1 month the S&P 500 has been trying to break above its 3000 level 3 times and failed. This makes this level even harder to break and attracts selling. In addition, the 5 stocks (AAPL, AMZN, FB, GOOD, MSFT) that make up over 20% of the S&P 500 capitalization have now moving up too much too fast to an unsustainable levels. AAPL , MSFT  and Nasdaq 100 ETF QQQ have risen 7 out of the last 10 weeks and are very close to their all time highs. Their nearly vertical V shape reversal rallies defy gravity and reality and are not likely to be sustainable. They all have the potential of forming bearish Double Top patterns and downside correction looks inevitable.  Both AMZN and FB made new highs today and are reversing down. They may be fully priced. GOOG is the lagger of the 5 stocks and is having hard time to surpass its recent high. Then comes Nvidea's (NVDA) earning report after market close today, everybody expecting a good report but a stock is hard to go any where when everybody has bought in  and it makes all time high before the earning report.  These 6 stocks have been leading the market up and are now likely to take the market down.

That brings the nine-week total to 38.64 million, which is massively worse than the prior worst nine-week period in the last 50-plus years.

。In a rare outburst that went so far as to accuse the "very top" of China's government of a "massive disinformation campaign", Trump slammed China again just days before the biggest Chinese political gathering of the year, with traders betting that it was now just a matter of time before China retaliated in deed instead of just in word.  "Markets may be pricing in far too much complacency as the U.S.-China ‘phase one’ trade deal could be at risk," said market strategist Stephen Innes. "The pandemic and resulting acute economic downturn have made China’s trade commitment to the U.S. much more challenging to fulfill." ---Zero Hedge

The law applies to any foreign company listing or raising capital in the U.S., but China earned a specific mention. ---Wall Street Breakfast

。Exchange-traded funds that track the performance of Chinese companies stumbled Thursday as the House of Representatives considers a bill that could ban Chinese firms from listing on U.S. exchanges, after a similar bill passed the Senate unanimously Wednesday. The Invesco China Technology ETF CQQQ was down 2.7% in early trade Thursday, while shares of Global X MSCI China Consumer Discretionary ETF CHIQ shed 2.3% and KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF KWEB declined 1.8%. The bill would require that foreign companies let the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board oversee the auditing of their financial records if they want to raise money by selling stocks or bonds to the American public. All U.S. companies and most foreign firms already work with the PCAOB in this way, but Chinese firms do not. Some analysts predicted the bill could be swiftly approved as Congress looks to signal toughness toward China in an election year. ---Market Watch

The percentage decline was the largest since July 2010. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast existing home would decrease 18.9% to a rate of 4.30 million units in April. ---Reuters







美国主要股指开盘小幅上升g ，但立即被抛售，道琼斯指数，标准普尔500指数和纳斯达克指数现在分别下跌了0.46％，0.77％和0.75％。导致市场下跌的其中两个原因是，超过预期的申领失业救济人数以及中美之间日益紧张的局势。但是，我相信技术条件是主要原因。在过去的1个月中，标准普尔500指数连续3次试图突破3000水平而失败。这使得该价位更难以突破并吸引了卖盘。此外，构成标准普尔500指数总市值20％以上的5只股票（AAPL，AMZN，FB，GOOD，MSFT）涨幅过多过快，达到了不可持续的水平。 AAPL，MSFT和纳斯达克100 ETF QQQ在过去10周中上涨了7周，非常接近它们历史最高点。它们接近垂直的V形反转上升无视地心吸力和现实，升势不太可能可持续。它们都有形成看跌的双顶形态的可能性，下行修正似乎不可避免。今天，AMZN和FB均创出新高，并且正在逆转向下。 它们的价位可能已达到最好价。 GOOG是五只股票中的最弱者，正在挣扎超越其近期高点。 然后是今天市场收盘后Nvidea（NVDA）的财报，每个人都预期有一个不错的报告，但是当每个人都已经买进股票并且导致股票今天创新高，股票很难再有很大作为。 这6只股票一直引领市场上涨，现在很可能会带动市场下跌。
