Following the latest decision from the Federal Open Market Committee, U.S. benchmarks pushed higher after trading lower to start the week. Federal Reserve members decided to keep the central bank’s interest rate unchanged while also leaving most of the policies in place. Fed Chair Jerome Powell met with the press following the conclusion of the two-day meeting and signaled at a no rate-change decision likely through 2023. All three major U.S. indices then, in turn, turned positive with the Dow leading the way at 0.58% gains. The Fed stated interest rate would remain near zero as well as its intent to maintain the 2% inflation target and monthly asset purchasing program. Though economic growth is forecasted as vaccine rollouts continue alongside the latest $1.9 trillion COVID relief bill, several economic levels continue to lack as compared to pre-COVID levels. These levels will be highly monitored in the months to come as well as the latest movement on Treasury notes, with the 10-year yield hitting a 14-month high at 1.645%. On Thursday, FedEx and Nike are set to release corporate earnings. Globally, Asian and European markets largely finished in the red. The momentum behind bulls is deteriorating and we expect a short-term correction this week or the next, back to the 50-day moving average. Until an additional breakout is maintained, our models are projecting the SPY to trade in the range of $375-$397. The next level of support is set at the 50-day moving average of $375-$380 and we encourage all market commentary readers to maintain clearly defined stop-levels for all positions.
