Apart from the Nasdaq, U.S. indices traded fairly higher with consumer staples and energy sectors leading the way. Both the S&P and Dow Jones finished in the green, marking the S&P’s latest record close for the year. As the national, and worldwide, COVID recovery continues, inflation remains a key market stimulator with concerns about its pace picking up. Labor reports supported markets today as the private-sector report showed almost 700,000 jobs added last month, above expectations and continuing May’s impressive rise in added jobs. Next up, look out for the monthly unemployment rate, hourly wages, and May trade deficit data. With the second quarter of 2021 wrapping up today, look for earnings to pick up next week. MU, WBA, and STZ are key earnings announcements this week that can potentially influence the market direction. Volatility in the market remains active as the VIX is at the 15 levels and June unemployment numbers continue to return this week. Globally, European markets finished in the red while Asian markets were mixed. Please watch the critical support levels on the SPY at $416 and $424. The market is trading in a well-defined range and we do expect a short-term correction to spill into July. The top has been set at $420 and we encourage users to consider selling into market rebounds. QQQ has been trading below the 50-day moving average for a few sessions and the market is getting close to an oversold level. We encourage all market commentary readers to maintain clearly defined stop levels for all positions. For reference, the SPY Seasonal Chart is shown below:
