Major U.S. indices are extending last week’s rally with gains in early morning trading today and were on track to close in the green behind renewed global trade optimism. In the coming weeks, several central bank monetary policy meeting will take place and likely affect markets, including the European Central Bank meeting in Frankfurt this week and the U.S. FOMC next week. With the market breaking out of August range of $280-$295, the SPY is currently trading between $294-$302 and we do not see the potential for the market to overshoot all-time high level at $302. Still, the question remains as to whether this is a true break out initiating a bull market or a fault breakout. We remain in our belief that market is range-bound and not a true breakout until we see other asset classes, such as XLU, TLT, EEM, and DXY for example, breakout out of their existing trends. We encourage Market Commentary readers to maintain clearly defined stop levels for all positions as further volatility is expected. We will look to buy when SPY is near $282 and sell near $300. For reference, the SPY Seasonal Chart is shown below:
Since this morning’s rally, stocks have reversed course with the S&P and Nasdaq erasing gains while the Dow is still on track to close with modest gains. Markets were up behind renewed global trade optimism with developments in both U.S-China and China-Hong Kong tensions. Talks between the U.S. and China are scheduled for early October while China has moved forward with stimulus plans following the revolts in Hong Kong. The latest data from China shows a decrease in exports in the month of August while several key U.S. economic reports are due this week. Look out for producer price index and wholesale inventories to release on Wednesday; core CPI, Federal budget, and consumer price index on Thursday. Also key this week will be the European Central Bank policy meeting in which many expect an interest rate cut similar to the one we saw from the U.S. Federal Reserve’s last meeting. Next week, Fed members will meet for the FOMC for a two-day meeting.
