Earnings season returns with major banks releasing data this week. Despite underwhelming results from Chase, the U.S. stock markets closed near session highs today, as bond yields dropped and inflation concerns slightly alleviated. Delta Air Lines, BlackRock, and Bed Bath & Beyond round out the marquee reports today while tomorrow additional reports from major banks are due. Citigroup, Wells Fargo, and PNC release their quarterly reports on Thursday, alongside Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Rite Aid, and U.S. Bancorp. Bond yields eased their recent climbs as the notion of peak inflation already being hit made its way through the market. If so, investors appear to received this positively in response to the latest CPI reports. Next week, key earnings reports will be released from Bank of America, Netflix, Tesla, and AT&T. Also next week, look out for the latest Fed-released Beige Book.
The geopolitical concerns in Ukraine and CPI/PPI data continue to have an impact on the market and likely inform the next move. We are monitoring the $VIX, which is currently trading near the 24 level, as well as other market indicators in order to anticipate future market movements. We’re keeping an eye on overhead resistance levels for the SPY, such as $451 and then $445, based on our technical analysis. The $SPY support level is at $438 and then $420. We expect the market to continue to trade higher in the next two to six weeks. In the short term, the market is oversold and will start the bottoming process in the next few sessions. Globally, markets traded prominently higher while some Asian and European markets saw mixed results. We encourage all market commentary readers to maintain clearly defined stop levels for all positions. For reference, the SPY Seasonal Chart is shown below:
