Major U.S. indices are up today behind positive earnings and global trade news. Micron stock is riding nice gains following their positive earnings beat which topped expectations for the quarter. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin expressed positive progress in his latest statement regarding China-U.S. trade discussion, stating a U.S.-China trade deal was “about 90%” done before talks broke down. Also worth noting, Mnuchin addressed tariffs which could be suspended for the next round on $300 billion of Chinese imports while talks continue. Look for General Mills and Rite Aid earnings today, Nike and Walgreens tomorrow. With SPY remaining at an all-time high, we encourage our readers to look to buy near $286. We expect the market to continue trading between $286 and $296. Still, we do not see market momentum pushing SPY above $300 level. For reference, the SPY Seasonal Chart is shown below:
Markets are in the green today off positive global-trade progress recently reported. The proposed pause on tariffs as well as the improvement in U.S.-China relations has pushed U.S. futures and major indices higher. Treasury Secretary Mnuchin’s has recently told reporters a deal with China is close to completion. Similarly, the progress on this deal has stalled both nations intentions to add further tariffs against each other. This, coupled with the upcoming meeting between presidents in the G20 summit, should help ease global tensions and continue supporting markets in the days to come. However, if talks break down or a deal is not reached, look for both nations to move forward with their proposed tariffs.
Yesterday, Micron chipmaker released earnings that topped expectations and helped support the stock as well as sector-related companies into nice gains. Micron is currently up 13% while the semiconductor sector is up 3%. Also released yesterday FedEx earnings beat expectations and saw slight gains. General Mills released earnings before market open today but saw poor sales which lowered shares by 4%. Looking ahead, Nike and Walgreens are due to release earnings tomorrow while Constellation Brands is set for a Friday release.
