Markets are muted today after seeing a nice boost on Friday sparked by the announcement of “phase one” of the U.S.-China trade deal. U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods that were due to increase on Tuesday will not be put into effect while the two sides try to sign a deal. While a bigger trade deal could also be in the works, focus this week shifts to corporate-earnings season. Major banks Citigroup, Chase, Wells Fargo, Bank of America are due to report as well as Netflix, Coca-Cola, IBM, and many more. With the market trading between $294 and $302 for the SPY, we will look to sell near $300 as we do not believe the market has the potential to overshoot all-time high of $302. Although the market is range-bound, further volatility is expected and we recommend readers maintain clearly defined stop levels for all positions. For reference, the SPY Seasonal Chart is shown below:
The S&P, Dow, and Nasdaq are off to muted starts this week, trading slight gain for slight losses, as skepticism regarding the U.S.-China deals after a productive two-day meeting last week. The first part of the deal had been reported before the market closed Friday which supported stocks, this week look for the deal to be signed as further tariffs this month are, for the time being, delayed. Additional deals will likely continue to be negotiated as the next round of increases are set for December. Other global trade concerns to monitor include further Brexit and U.S. impeachment proceedings as developments, in either event, will surely affect global markets. Globally, Asian markets closed in the green while European markets closed lower.
This week, corporate earnings season for third-quarter reports begins with major banks and financial institutes reporting; this includes Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, and Morgan Stanley. Other key reports will come from IBM, Netflix, Johnson & Johnson, Coca-Cola, Philip Morris. No economic reports are due today in observance of Columbus Day while Wednesday will feature key data from the U.S. Beige Book and September Retail Sales report.
