A CLOSER LOOK AT OUR TACTICAL POSITIONING TARGETS
Each day, Meeder analyzes and ranks over 70 different factors from our short, intermediate, and long-term models. The dynamic statistical model incorporates factors covering macroeconomic, fundamental, trends and technical analysis to estimate the potential reward and marketplace risk of the equity markets. The Meeder Spectrum, Muirfield, Balanced, Moderate Allocation, and Conservative Allocation funds utilize this strategy for the Defensive Equity portion of their portfolios. The Defensive Equity Strategy guides the allocation of each fund’s equity sleeve and the actual proportion of equity investments in any fund will vary depending on the investment objectives of the fund.

QUICK TAKE
With headline CPI at 3.7%, nearly double the Fed’s target, and the 10-year Treasury remains near 4.9%, elevated rates give investors a credible alternative to stocks, putting pressure on valuations.
Retail investors remain more bearish than bullish. Newsletter sentiment has also cooled for four consecutive weeks, and from a contrarian standpoint, persistent pessimism tends to be a constructive backdrop for stocks.
While long-term trends remain positive, market breadth has weakened and the market has largely been consolidating in recent weeks. We are watching for broader participation to confirm any renewal of the uptrend.
The VIX rose back above 19 on Friday’s tech sell-off but remains near its long-term average, while bond market risk sits near 100, close to the top of its 52-week range.
