With China in the midst of protests pressuring global markets, U.S. shares lowered today as Federal officials see the necessity for more rate hikes. All three major U.S. indices closed in the red with the Dow dropping 500 points as Nasdaq and S&P lower 1.5% today. Last week, for the second time in three weeks, U.S. stocks booked weekly gains while on Monday stocks reversed course. Overseas, Asian markets were pressured by the latest COVID-related shutdowns and protests. Additionally, U.S. oil prices bounced back from their recent lows. Gold and the dollar, which traditionally trade inversely, were also up today.
This week is set to be a big one for U.S. economic data, with several key reports and announcements coming out. On Wednesday, we’ll get revised data on the third-quarter gross domestic product, along with the Fed’s Beige Book report. Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell will also give a speech that day. Then on Thursday, we’ll get the closely watched inflation gauge PCE reports, with November employment data set for Friday.
This week’s earnings from $CRWD, $NTAP, and $INTU – as well as GDP and unemployment numbers – can help shape the market’s next move. With the VIX currently trading near the $23 level, we are watching the overhead resistance levels in the SPY – at $400 and then $416. The $SPY support is at $390 and then $380. We expect the market to continue the current rally for the next 2-4 weeks. The short-term market is trading in the well-defined range. We advise subscribers to stay market neutral at this time and not attempt to profit from downward or upward swings. Market commentary readers should maintain clearly defined stop levels for all positions. For reference, the SPY Seasonal Chart is shown below:
Note: The Vector column calculates the change of the Forecasted Average Price for the next trading session relative to the average of actual prices for the last trading session. The column shows the expected average price movement “Up or Down”, in percent. Trend traders should trade along the predicted direction of the Vector. The higher the value of the Vector the higher its momentum.
