Insiders continue to favour a reflating global economy

As we expected, we have seen a modest bounce in the Utilities SPDR ETF (XLU*US) which has advanced about 0.7% since our report last week. Concerns about Greece and slowing industrial production helped the long-bond sensitive group to move off its recent lows. As has often been the case throughout the economic recovery, the data has provided investors with a mixed picture. Industrial production numbers disappointed on Monday, but retail sales generally came in better than expected last Thursday. 

The persistence of some data that surprises on the downside will likely encourage the Federal Reserve to take a go-slow approach on interest rate increases.

American insiders confirming the Canadian reflation bias

Every week we provide an American insider overview for our subscribers at INKResearch.com and TD Direct investing. Below I have incorporated the commentary from this morning's INK Research American insider article which appeared before the open. Today's commentary is particularly relevant for investors in the Canadian market as insiders south of the border appear to be confirming the tilt towards growth-oriented stocks we are seeing in Canada.
