> Her warning is conditional: Stockton said a month-end close near levels prevailing at the time could damage Fairlead Strategies’ monthly indicators.

Fairlead Strategies founder and managing partner Katie Stockton said a U.S. stock-market close near current levels at the end of November could damage indicators the firm tracks and make the first quarter of 2027 challenging.

“If we do close the month at current levels, there will be damage to the monthly indicators that we track,” Stockton said in a Nov. 6 interview.

Her outlook depends on where stocks finish November. Stockton did not describe a difficult first quarter as certain.
