Markets Rebound After Trump Stimulus Support

October 7, 2020
By Vlad Karpel

U.S. markets impressively rebounded on Wednesday, one day after dipping on the news the President would postpone stimulus negotiations, as economic stimulus talks appear to have resumed with President Trump signaling his intent to sign and support additional economic measures. Similarly, today’s key economic release featured last month’s Federal Open Market Committee’s meeting minutes which showed several key Fed members indicating the U.S. economy has recovered in several sectors faster than expected. Next week, earnings season is set to begin with several major banks and retailers releasing quarterly reports. We continue monitoring VIX levels as the market can overshoot support and resistance levels when VIX is trading near $30 level. Our latest models are projecting the SPY to trade between $318-$360 and we will look to be buyers into any short-term corrections. With the SPY having already broken through its overhead resistance at $340, short-term traders could consider adding to positions when SPY is near $332. As always, we encourage all market commentary readers to maintain clearly defined stop-levels for all positions. For reference, the SPY Seasonal Chart is shown below:

Key U.S. Economic Reports/Events This Week:

  • FOMC Meeting Minutes – Wednesday
  • Consumer Credit (August) – Wednesday
  • Weekly Jobless Claims (10/3) – Thursday
  • Wholesale Inventories (August) – Friday
