After the 10-year Treasury bond yield reached its highest level in 12 years, major U.S. indices snapped a two-day winning session. The streak to open the week was powered by positive earnings reports, which continued today, however, markets were not able to withstand the peak in yields and closed in the red. All three major U.S. indices traded lower today although we did see several strong economic reports released. Netflix shares were up 13% today Q3 data returned better than expected. Tesla and IBM are due today after the close. On Thursday, look out for earnings from American Airlines, AT&T, and Snap, while Friday will feature American Express and Verizon.
In other U.S. economic data, The Commerce Department reported Wednesday that construction on new U.S. homes fell 8.1% in September, down from the 13.7% increase seen in August, totaling a seasonally adjusted annual pace of 1.44 million buildings. Also released today, the latest Beige Book showed what many expected: inflation continues to be a major concern throughout all 12 financial districts. Still, there were positive signs in the reports such as “modest” growth for the U.S. economy.
The $VIX is trading near the $31 level and we are watching earnings season ahead of the upcoming midterm election, which could be the next market mover. We are monitoring the overhead resistance levels in the SPY, which are presently at $380 and then $390. The $SPY support is at $367 and then $357. We expect the market to continue the bottoming process for the next 2-4 weeks. The market is currently oversold and can stage a rally in the short term. He would recommend buying into any further sell-offs and not chasing the market to the downside. Globally, Asian markets finished with mixed results while European markets closed in the red. We encourage all market commentary readers to maintain clearly defined stop levels for all positions. For reference, the SPY Seasonal Chart is shown below:
