Although the U.S. presidential race is too close to call following yesterday’s election, U.S. Benchmarks extended their streak on Wednesday after closing sharply higher on Tuesday. All three major U.S. indices closed in the green, with the Nasdaq leading at 3.85% gains. For the most part, U.S. assets are responding well to the election with major tech leading the surge while additional earnings and the latest FOMC decision remain on the docket for this week. Uber and Lyft shares surged over 10% following a legislative victory in California while banks and bond yields saw shares lower today. Tomorrow, Fed Chair Powell will meet with the press following the conclusion of the latest Federal Open Market Committee. Earlier today, private sector labor data showed a continued, though subtle, increase in employment for the month of October; additional employment data such as average hourly earnings and unemployment is due Friday. Globally, Asian markets closed to mixed results while European markets rose impressively. Our latest models are projecting the SPY to trade in the range of $318-$360 and we will look to be buyers into any short-term corrections. The SPY closed above the key resistance level of $342 and as long as the market trades above this level, the SPY is on its way to retest its recent highs before the end of November. With the market prone to further corrections, the next level of support is set at $354. We expect volatility to persist as uncertainty around the elections continues and we will continue monitoring VIX levels, as the market can overshoot support and resistance levels when VIX is trading near the $40 level. Likewise, we encourage all market commentary readers to maintain clearly defined stop-levels for all positions. For reference, the SPY Seasonal Chart is shown below:
