With the VIX back at the $18 level, we are still expecting 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 $440 and $434. PANW, CRM, and MDT are key earnings announcements this week that can potentially influence the market direction. On Friday, Fed Chair Powell will speak at the annual Jackson Hole economic symposium while next week August month-long employment data will begin to release. Globally, European and Asian markets traded higher, closing unanimously in the green. We encourage all market commentary readers to maintain clearly defined stop levels for all positions. For reference, the SPY Seasonal Chart is shown below:
All three major U.S. indices closed in the green to start the week. The Nasdaq hit record levels on Monday while the Dow and S&P rose over 0.5%. With speculation of a more dovish tone for this Friday’s Powell speech at Jackson Hole, markets responded overwhelmingly positive. Pfizer saw its COVID vaccine received FDA approval which supported the symbol while CVS, Uber, and Lyft also saw positive growth today. 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. Likewise, the market focus remains on tensions in the Middle East as country-wide evacuations by global citizens residing in Afghanistan continue while an additional global response is still to be determined.
