Hey, Ross here:
Markets rose yesterday despite the US’ Iran strike.
As I said in yesterday’s newsletter, most traders would be surprised – and I was right.
Here’s one chart that can help explain why.
Chart of the Day
This is the NFCI – the Chicago Fed’s National Financial Conditions.
I’ve talked about it a couple times before.
It’s basically a measure of how loose or tight monetary conditions are.
The lower the index – the looser monetary conditions are – and the more liquidity (aka money) there is in the financial system.
That’s good for stocks.
And right now, the index is at the lowest levels in over three years.
This is a major factor supporting the healthy price action we’ve been seeing (though of course, Trump’s ceasefire announcement also helped).
But the most important implications for traders are happening below the surface.
I elaborate below.
Insight of the Day
Even if the underlying market stays healthy, we may see a sector rotation happening.
As I’ve said before, the thing about looking at the broad data – like the market indexes – is that it’s hard to see what’s happening beneath the surface.
Right now, the underlying market is healthy, and is likely to keep going up (potential short-term turbulence aside).
Yet, the sectors that will lead this leg up are likely to shift.
When big geopolitical or economic events dominate headlines, it almost always leads to a sector rotation.
That’s where you want to hunt for the next big breakouts.
And that’s why in just a few hours at 11 a.m. Eastern later this morning…
I’m going LIVE for a strategy session to show you which sectors are rising right now…
And even reveal some stocks that are setting up for potentially MAJOR moves as the situation develops.
Don’t miss this.

And I’ll see you in a little bit at 11 a.m. ET.
Remember, uncertainty equals opportunity. Don’t wait for things to “resolve”.
Customer Story of the Day
“Great company. Something for everyone regardless of your skill level. Walks you through everything step by step as much or as little as needed.
Great recommendations but, more importantly, teaches you how to identify your own picks, too. Really gives you the tools to be a better trader/investor.
Very honest group. No “pie in the sky” promises, just realistic information. I have been with TA since January 2, 2025.
I am a member of Insider Effect, Alpha Stocks, and Fire Traders. Stealth Trades and War Room, too. I would be in Black Edge, too, but I trade mostly through a PCRA and they are very restrictive with Options trades, limiting to covered calls and such. I’ve been building a little war chest in a new account and will be jumping in on Black Edge in the coming months.
I wanted to wait a few months before posting a review so I could have an honest assessment not based on only a handful of trades.
If you want to learn to be a better trader with an honest, realistic group, Traders Agency will be your last stop.
Beware of the other companies that promise you wins on every trade. That’s not real. TA is! They often run very good specials to get involved at discounted prices.
Again, while not every trade is a winner, I have paid for my subscriptions already on winning trades…..and, this market lately hasn’t been a cakewalk either. I’m excited to see what we can do after we get the tariff and geopolitical stuff behind us!
Top notch, Ross. Thank you!”
