U.S. benchmarks saw moderate gains as inflation concerns cooled off after the latest economic consumer report, while the Nasdaq after trading higher for two sessions saw its streak snap by closing in the red. The S&P hit record territory during the day as the core CPI data returned as expected while the consumer price index rose over 5% last month when comparing to the previous year. With panic surrounding inflation declining, focus remains on COVID infection levels, as the delta variant continues to cause spikes worldwide, and the remainder of corporate earning still set to release. With most of the earnings released, the upbeat sentiment of the reports continues to support markets.
Key earnings announcements this week that can potentially influence the market direction include BIDU, CF, and DIS. The market has started trading in a downtrend and we expect a short-term correction to continue in the next two weeks. Please watch the critical support levels on the SPY at $434 and $422. Currently, the VIX is at the 18 level and the new strand of the virus continues to impact volatility in the market. Earnings season and several key economic reports, including Core CPI and Federal Budget, are the main events that will drive the market this week. Globally, both European markets and Asian markets closed in the green. We encourage all market commentary readers to maintain clearly defined stop levels for all positions.
