1 FEBRUARY 1, 218 BUSINESS CYCLE INDEX The BCI at is above last week s downward revised 238.5, and it is at a new high for this business cycle as indicated by the BCIp at 1. Also, the 6 month smoothed annualized growth BCIg is at 17.8, which is above last week s downward revised No recession is signaled. FEBRUARY 2, 218 MARKET SIGNALS SUMMARY: TThe MAC US model is invested. Also, the 3 mo Hi Lo Index of the S&P5 generated a buy signal on 1/3/217 and is invested in the markets. The monthly updated S&P5 Coppock indicator is also invested. The MAC AU is also invested. The recession indicators COMP and im BCIg do not signal a recession. The bond market model avoids high beta (long) bonds, and the yield curve s flattening trend seems to be broken. Both the gold and silver Coppock models are invested, and the im Gold Timer is in gold since 7/1/217. STOCK MARKETS: The MAC US model generated a buy signal 4/5/216 and thus is invested in the stock markets. The sellspread (red graph) is above last week s level and has to fall below zero to signal a sell. The 3 mo Hi Lo Index of the S&P5 is below last week s level at 16.2% (last week 17.52%) and is in the market since8/22/217. The MAC AU model is invested in the markets after it generated a buy signal on March 21, 216. The sell spread is above last week s level and has to fall below zero to signal a sell. This model and its application is described in MAC Australia: A Moving Average Crossover System for Superannuation Asset Allocations. RECESSION: Figure 3 shows the COMP above last week s level. No recession is indicated. COMP can be used for stock market exit timing as discussed in this article The Use of Recession Indicators in Stock Market Timing. Figure 3.1 shows the recession indicator im BCIg also up from last week s level. An imminent recession is not signaled. Please also refer to the BCI page The Forward Rate Ratio between the 2 year and 1 year U.S. Treasury yields (FRR2 1) is at last week s level and not signaling a recession. The FRR2 1 is trending downwards.
2 BOND MARKET: The BVR model avoids high beta bonds (long bonds) and also intermediate duration bonds. The Bond Value Ratio is shown in Fig 4. The BVR is below last week s level. According to the model, only when BVR turns upward after having been lower than the lower offset line should one consider long bonds again. THE YIELD CURVE: The yield curve model indicates the trend of the 1 year and 2 year Treasuries yield spread. Figure 5 charts (i1 i2) shows that the yield curve s flattening trend seems to be broken. A buy FLAT signal was generated on 2/8/217. FLAT and STPP are ETNs; STPP profits from a steepening yield curve and FLAT increases in value when the yield curve flattens. This model confirms the direction of the BVR. GOLD: The modified Coppock Gold indicator shown in Fig 6. This model generated a new buy signal end November 217 and is invested in gold. The im GOLD TIMER Rev 1 is invested in gold since 7/1/217. SILVER: The modified Coppock Silver indicator shown in Fig 7. This model generated a new buy signal late November 216 and is invested in silver. MONTHLY UPDATES (Next Update March 9, 218) JFEBRUARY 2, 218 UNEMPLOYMENT The unemployment rate recession model, has been updated with the January UER of 4.1%. Based on the historic patterns of the unemployment rate indicators prior to recessions one can reasonably conclude that the U.S. economy is not likely to go into recession anytime soon. The growth rate UERg is at minus 13.1% (last month 13.56%) and EMA spread of the UER is at minus.23% (last month minus.28%). THE DYNAMIC LINEARLY DETRENDED ENHANCED AGGREGATE SPREAD: The updated level of this indicator, 14bps, above last months 146bps, confirms the January 2, 217 signal. Based on past history a recession could have started at the earliest in October 217, but not later than May 219. The average lead time to previous recessions provided by DAGS was 15 months which
3 would indicate a recession start for April 218. (Note: All our other recession indicators are far from signal a recession.) COPPOCK INDICATOR FOR THE S&P5 The Coppock indicator for the S&P5 entered the market end May 217. This model is in stocks. This indicator is described here. CAPE CYCLE ID Fig 9a depicts the CAPE Cycle ID and the year on year rate of change of the Shiller CAPE. A model using this indicator invests in the market when the Cycle ID is +2 or, and when the Cycle ID equals 2 the model is in cash. TRADE WEIGHTED USD The Trade Weighted $ value is continuing to weaken. TIAA REAL ESTATE ACCOUNT The 1 year rolling return for the end of last month is 4.4%. A sell signal is not imminent.

The FRR2-1 is indicative of the slope of the yield curve between the two-year and the ten-year note yields; a FRR2-1 greater than 1. indicates a positively sloped yield curve (ten-year note yields are higher than two-year note yields); a FRR2-1 less than 1. indicates an inversion of the yield curve (two-year note yields are higher than ten-year note yields).
