Format:Hardcover
I am a bit surprised that no one has left a review for this book yet.
This is the book which boosted my understanding of the markets and my trading.
It is much more comprehensive than the first Murphy's book on the same subject: the time frame analysed is longer, the presence of new forces changing the historical intermarket correlations is stressed (such as deflation)...
Also the old book was mainly about the 4 main markets (commodities, stocks, bonds and currencies) this one also introduces the concepts of sector rotation and business cycle of the stock market.
And, unlikely many technical books, it explains why things happen.
Murphy focuses on the medium-long term but I believe that his considerations can be used to support your short term trades (from 2 days to 2 months).
I think it would be of little use for day traders.
This is a definitely a must read, suitable for beginners and experts, easy to ready, all you need to have is a basic knowledge of technical analysis.
If you are interested in the subject and would like some deeper and more statistical approach, I would also recommend "Intermarket Trading Strategies" by M. Katsanos.
However, this one is not for beginners.

Excellent book. Quite technical and takes quite a lot of reflection to be able to comprehend the points Mr Murphy is making. Nevertheless is an important read in terms of understanding the connections between debt, currency and international markets. In the current climate, with the Greek debt situation and the nature of the financial relationship between the United States and China, I am of the opinion Mr Murphy would have a whole new book to write.

Great Rewrite of a Landmark Work
23 Mar 2004
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
The original book Intermarket Technical Analysis was great for its time, however some of the relationships it described change in a deflationary environment which the author suggests we are in. However, the best reason for the rewrite was the writing in the earlier book was terrible in my opinion. It was a terribly boring book -- even if you are interested in the topic.
This book is different, and is a much better book. It also seems to me that the sector analysis coverage is a little more thorough (although I have not opened them up side by side to tell).
The only downside of this book is I don't think it gives you as many practical tools for tracking the business cycle and sector rotation as Pring's book, how to select stocks using technical analysis. It will give you the basics though, relying heavily on comparative relative strength.
If you want to see the big picture and understand how the markets are tied together, I can without hesitation recommend this book. There are several other books that complement this one as well.

A Panoramic Market View
28 Feb 2004
Format:Hardcover
John Murphy's "Intermarket Analysis" is an updating of his excellent 1991 text "Intermarket Technical Analysis". Both books are the most clearly written and thought-provoking texts on this topic that I have encountered.
In the interest of disclosure, let me say that I do not know Mr. Murphy; nor has he or his publisher solicited this review. His editor at Wiley, Pamela Van Giessen, also edited a book I wrote on The Psychology of Trading. Knowing Ms. Van Giessen's integrity in a business that too often lacks that virtue, and having enjoyed Murphy's first book on the topic, I was eager to give "Intermarket Analysis" a thorough read.
Murphy begins with a review of the markets from the 1980s, recapitulating themes from the first book, including the close linkages among the currency, bond, commodities, and stock markets. His discussion of the role of oil and gold in economic slumps and booms is first rate, as he traces the interplay among these markets during the first Persian Gulf War and then during the "stealth bear market" of 1994. Throughout these presentations, Murphy captures qualitative relationships between markets that provide inspiration for traders interested in quantitative modeling. For example, the relationship between oil stocks and crude oil prices and the CRB/Bond Ratio are promising tools in capturing shifts in commodity prices that tend to impact the stock indices. I was particularly intrigued by his presentation of sector relationships during economic/market cycles, including the relative performance of cyclical and consumer stocks.
Where Murphy's book really shines, however, is in its explanation of intermarket relationships in a deflationary environment. He captures these relationships in his account of the recent bear market, drawing upon such diverse intermarket relationships as semiconductor stocks, Japanese markets, the Australian dollar, and the yield curve. This alone is a major advance over his previous text. At the end of the book, he traces the start of the recent bull market, illustrating the transition from a deflationary environment to an inflationary one--a pattern that also occurred after the great bear market of the 1930s.
Weaknesses in this book, from this reviewer's perspective, include an overemphasis on charts and visual data at the expense of quantitative treatments and a glib treatment of the Kondratieff Wave (long-term economic cycles). That having been said, this is an excellent market book. The presentation of sector rotation during economic cycles alone provided enough ideas to keep me busy with modeling efforts. Chart-based technical analysts and quants alike can find value in Murphy's work.

Excellent Book
1 May 2005
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I find myself always picking up this book for questions involving intermarket relationships. Stocks, bonds, commodities. There are even historical reviews of intermarket relationships in the book as well. Don't be fooled by the title, the author does discuss US markets very well. It is an easy read without technical jargon. Sure, the Phd of economics would probably be quite bored with the material but for the layman and BA student....this is a terrific reference with all meat and no fat!
