Markets Trade Higher Ahead of Final 2022 FOMC

December 12, 2022
By Vlad Karpel

To kick off a week filled with inflation and central bank news, U.S. Indices are trading higher as investors remain optimistic in their outlooks. After its short-lived dip the previous week, U.S. stocks ended with a powerful surge on Monday in anticipation of upcoming inflation data and Federal Reserve decisions that could shape financial trends for next year. This Tuesday marks the release of November’s U.S. consumer price data, and the following day will see The Fed announcing their interest-rate decision to be a 50 basis point increase in rates from 4.25% to 4.50%. This snaps the streak that occurred from June through November’s consecutive oversized 75 basis point hikes. Make sure to keep an eye out for these significant changes this week that could have a major impact on the market landscape. Also, this week will be the European Central Bank and Bank of England decision, both scheduled to release their interest rate announcements on Thursday. Additionally, just one day prior to this event UK inflation levels will be released—currently standing at 11.1% year-over-year.

As $VIX trades close to the $22 mark, it is essential to keep an eye on the SPY’s overhead resistance levels of $400 and then subsequently at $410. Simultaneously, we must also be aware of its support located at around $390 and lower down at a possible stop-loss price point of$385. The $ORCL, $ADBE, and $COUP earnings this week – as well as CPI data and Fed decision- can influence the next move in the market. We expect the market to continue building a market top for the next 2-4 weeks. The short-term market is trading in the well-defined range. He would be market neutral at this time and encourages subscribers not to chase the market to the downside or upside. Globally, Asian and European markets closed in the red. Market commentary readers should maintain clearly defined stop levels for all positions. For reference, the SPY Seasonal Chart is shown below:
