Brexit Breakthrough and Slight Oil Rebound

November 14, 2018
By Vlad Karpel

Major U.S. indices are all down today after the Dow flirted with early morning gains before reverting back into negative territory. At its current state, investors should avoid chasing the market but continue looking for good opportunities to buy into the dips. With volatility lingering, major support is at $270 while resistance is at $282.  For reference, SPY Seasonal Chart is shown below:

News to note today include the final stretch of meaningful earnings and the recent Brexit agreement. U.K. Prime Minister May and European Union leaders agreed on a provisional deal for finalizing the U.K.’s exit from the EU. Several issues still remain to be sorted out including Irish involvement and ensuring British economic stability in the years after the deal. These details will be ironed out in the days to come as this draft text will be reviewed thoroughly before any further action is taken. Elsewhere, oil has begun a slight rebound after falling to yearly lows but is still extremely low compared to last month. Globally, both European and Asian markets declined today.

Several economic reports are still scheduled for release this week. Jobless claims, retail sales, import price reports are due on Thursday, while Friday we’ll see industrial production and capacity utilization reports. Fed Chairman Powell will speak today at the Dallas Federal Reserve and should provide good insight on the current state of the economy. Yesterday, the U.S. October budget deficit was released, rising to $100.5 billion, an almost 60% increase from last October. Earnings today include Cisco after hours while Macy’s and Canopy already reported. Macy’s beat expectations while Canopy missed expectations but both shares suffered today. Two companies receiving some negative attention today include Snap Inc. and Juul. The e-cig company which has considerably risen in prominence in the last year has halted social media campaigns and flavored e-cig flavors after repeated pressure from the USDA. Snap Inc., the parent company to Snapchat, Spectacles, Bitmoji, and Zenly, is currently under DOJ and SEC investigation after reports began to circulate investors were misled in IPO disclosures last year. Both situations are ongoing.

Using the “^GSPC” symbol to analyze the S&P 500, our 10-day prediction window shows positive signals. Today’s vector figure of +0.17% moves to +3.72% in five trading sessions. The predicted close for tomorrow is 2,764.94. Prediction data is uploaded after market close at 6 p.m., CST. Today’s data is based on market signals from the previous trading session.
