Key earnings announcements this week that can impact the market include WMT, CSCO, and TGT. Following the developing unrest in the Middle East and the continued spread of the delta variant, stocks opened Monday to mixed results. Benchmarks rebounded from early morning losses in the afternoon with the S&P and Dow Jones closing in the green while the Nasdaq stayed down. Once again, U.S. stocks neared record territory with major tech reporting sector-wide modest gains as the latest on U.S. infrastructure bill provided some additional clarity. Still, several points of concern loom that could pressure markets as the week progresses. COVID infections rate continue to climb both in the U.S. and globally as delta variants of the virus spike. Immoncompraised groups are beginning to receive clearance for a third dose of the vaccine while several cities have re-mandated masks. Elsewhere, turmoil in the Middle East hit a peak on Sunday as the Afghani government was overthrown by the Taliban forces cause country-wide evacuations by global citizens residing in Afghanistan.
We expect a short-term correction to continue in the next two weeks as the market has started showing signs of trading in a downtrend. Please watch the critical support levels on the SPY at $434 and $422. Currently, the VIX is at the 18 level and the new strand of the virus continues to impact volatility in the market. Globally, both European markets and Asian markets closed in the green. We encourage all market commentary readers to maintain clearly defined stop levels for all positions.
