‘Buy the Rumour, Sell the News’ Scree500

Given the alignment of political reality with the “Buy the Rumour, Sell the News” strategy, the current market high represents an opportune time to exit positions. The rally fueled by speculative optimism is unlikely to sustain in the absence of immediate economic improvement. Investors should consider taking profits now, before the market undergoes a potential correction driven by fading sentiment and the realization of long-term economic challenges.

Key Consideration:

-Political Transition and Speculation: When Anura Kumara Dissanayake became president, his promises of reducing the cost of living, eliminating corruption, and driving economic recovery created optimism in the stock market. This sentiment-driven rally was fueled by rumors and speculations, despite his limited initial ability to enact change due to the lack of parliamentary power.

- Reality of Parliamentary Elections: The stock market further rallied on speculation about the parliamentary election outcome on November 14, 2024, as the anticipation of a strong government stirred hope for policy stability and reform. However, even after securing a two-thirds supermajority (159 seats), the economic challenges remain daunting, and any tangible turnaround will take significant time.

- Economic Reality and Limited Immediate Impact: While the political environment has stabilized, the structural issues plaguing the economy—such as inflation, high debt, and low investor confidence—cannot be resolved in the short term. The 50 days since Dissanayake’s presidency began have shown little progress, highlighting that immediate economic benefits are unrealistic.

- Market Sentiment Peak: The stock market operates on forward-looking sentiment. The recent rally, pushing the ASPI to its peak, reflects optimism about political change rather than concrete economic improvements. Now that the political event has concluded, there is a high likelihood that the hype will fade, as investors reassess the prolonged timeline for economic recovery.

- Technical Analysis – All-Time High and Resistance: From a technical standpoint, the ASPI is at a critical resistance level. Historically, such peaks are followed by corrections, as the market consolidates after rapid gains. The current overbought conditions increase the risk of a downturn.

- Risk of Public Agitation: If the public becomes disillusioned due to the slow pace of economic recovery and unmet expectations, it could erode market confidence further. Political stability might remain intact, but economic frustration may create headwinds for investor sentiment.

Profit Taking Opportunity

- Market Overheating: The All-Share Price Index (ASPI) has surged by near 25% from its recent low (10,569 to 13,225), signaling an extended bullish rally. Such rapid gains often indicate that the market may be overbought, leading to a potential correction.

- Post-Election Speculation: With elections concluded, the speculative optimism that drove the market higher has likely run its course. Market enthusiasm often peaks during speculation and declines once realities, such as policy implementation challenges, set in.

- Resistance Levels: The index is approaching the upper resistance trendline in the technical chart. This historically acts as a ceiling for prices, making it less likely for further gains without a significant catalyst.
Profit-Taking Opportunity: Investors sitting on substantial gains might choose to lock in profits, which could result in selling pressure. This aligns with the principle of “Buy the rumor, sell the news.”

- Sentiment Shift: The statement about “optimism reaching its peak and pessimism beginning soon” suggests a psychological shift among traders and investors, which could lead to reduced buying interest and increased volatility.

Broader Economic Concerns: If macroeconomic conditions (e.g., inflation, interest rates, fiscal policies) are not supportive, the market rally could lose momentum, triggering a reversal.

Long-term investment goals and risk tolerance: While these points highlight reasons to exit, individual decisions should also account for long-term investment goals and risk tolerance.

Even in a rising market time to time pullback, stagnation can happen.
