U.S. Benchmarks saw muted action on Wednesday while still being able to notch another record close this year, with the S&P finishing at $4,079.95. The Dow also saw modest gains while the Nasdaq finished slightly lower as the latest Federal Open Market Committee minutes were released. The minutes primarily provided positive sentiment and support as the Fed appeared to signal they will continue to support the economy through the pandemic while being in no rush to tighten monetary policy. On the COVID-front, the latest CDC report showed 32% of the U.S. population have received at least one vaccine dose, falling in line with estimates of full availability for all U.S. adults within weeks. Next week, earnings are set to pick up with major banks releasing quarterly data as well as the latest Beige Book and Federal Budget report. Globally, both European and Asian markets finished with mixed results. The SPY was able to break out above the $400 level across all asset classes and our models are projecting the SPY to trade in the range of $385-$420 for the next 6 weeks. $SPY broke above the $400 level following the recent rebound and deteriorating momentum behind treasury and currency markets. The DXY sold off and the TLT continues to trade in the range. We encourage all market commentary readers to maintain clearly defined stop levels for all positions.
