After a mixed start to open the week, major U.S. indices impressively traded higher with the S&P leading at 0.85% gains. Positive economic data and the latest on President Biden’s $3.5 trillion budget are key market impactors today while additional economic clarity will arrive next week during the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee meeting. Although the latest on COVID has soured some sectors with growing delta rates and extended mandates, the energy sector turned in a stellar performance. The volatility index (VIX) touched the $20 level earlier this week and currently sits near $18. We recommend watching the critical support levels on the SPY at $445 and $440 as we still expect some short-term correction to continue in the next two weeks. ORCL is one of the few remaining key earnings to be released this week as the latest earnings season winds down. Key economic reports due this week include August data for retail sales, industrial production, and Federal Budget. Following the Fed’s reassurance of transitory inflation, markets saw positive support pushing markets towards the upside. Earnings and the bond market will continue to dictate market movement as well as response COVID infection rates and Hurricane Ida’s impact. Globally, both Asian European markets closed significantly lower. We encourage all market commentary readers to maintain clearly defined stop levels for all positions. For reference, the SPY Seasonal Chart is shown below:
