Feds Increase Emergency Corporate Loan Facility, Global Markets Dip

June 15, 2020
By Vlad Karpel

Our models are projecting the SPY to trade between $270-$330 level in the next 2-3 weeks while the market is unlikely to retest $260 SPY level at this time. All three major U.S. indices traded higher today following comments from the Federal Reserve which promised to expand its emergency corporate debt loaning program. Global stocks saw significant declines amid fears of a second wave while the latest economic data coming from China underwhelmed. Oracle, Kroger, and Lennar corporate earnings are due this week while May retail sales, industrial production, and housing starts are also set to release. Fed Chair Jerome Powell is scheduled to testify in D.C. on Tuesday and Wednesday. We will continue monitoring the VIX as the market can overshoot support and resistance levels when VIX is trading near $30 level. In the short term, we will be buyers into any corrections and it is our opinion the market is still overbought. Short term traders should consider adding to positions when SPY near $293 and reducing exposure to the market at $320. SPY closed above $300 today and aggressive traders can consider adding to their positions until the market reaches $320 level Investors should consider hedging portfolios into the rallies. Market Commentary readers are encouraged to maintain clearly defined stop-levels for all positions. For reference, the SPY Seasonal Chart is shown below:

Today, the Dow closed 0.61% higher, the S&P added 0.83%, while the Nasdaq reported gains of 1.43%. Globally,  both Asian and European markets saw significant losses. Oil moved higher while Gold dipped. The dollar slipped and long-term U.S. Treasury notes saw yields edge lower.
