After finishing the week lower on Friday, U.S. stock-market benchmarks saw impressive gains to start the week with all three major U.S. indices closing in the green. Markets were pressured by growing COVID data last week while the continued stream of strong economic reports looks to support markets this week. On Tuesday, the U.S. election is set to take place with U.S. markets remaining open for the day while the latest Federal Open Market Committee is set to take place on Wednesday and Thursday. Earnings season remains in full swing with over 500 Q3 corporate earnings set to release this week. Atop the list of notable earnings are reports from Alibaba, Uber, Qualcomm, Marathon Oil, and CVS. Key economic reports to release this week include October ADP employment and September Trade deficit on Wednesday, October unemployment rate and average hourly earnings on Friday. With the market prone to further corrections after having recently broken through the $340-342 support levels, the next level of support is set at $318. 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. We continue monitoring VIX levels as the market can overshoot support and resistance levels when VIX is trading near the $40 level. As always, we encourage all market commentary readers to maintain clearly defined stop-levels for all positions. For reference, the SPY Seasonal Chart is shown below:
