U.S. Markets are on the move up today ahead of this week’s Fed decision. The Federal Open Market Committee is scheduled to begin their two-day meeting tomorrow where a rate decision will be made, also due for a rate decision this week are U.K. and Japan markets. While some analysts predict a rate cut to come from this week’s meeting, others point to no rate cut in light of the G20 summit scheduled for the end of the month where President Trump and Chinese President Xi are due to meet. Tariffs are also in focus this week as public hearings in Washington regarding President Trump’s proposed $300 billion on additional tariffs Chinese goods are set to begin. Look for May Housing Starts data on Tuesday followed by Oracle earnings on Wednesday and manufacturing data on Friday. With all eyes on Fed decision this week, we encourage our readers to continue monitoring SPY overhead resistance at $290. Avoid chasing near this level but look to buy near $286. We expect the market to remain between these levels for now but if the market breaks $290, we could see a retest of 52 weeks high for the SPY. For reference, the SPY Seasonal Chart is shown below:
All three major U.S. indices are in the green today after closing in the red Friday, with tech and communication sectors showing nice gains. Market-focus will center on the U.S. Fed decision this week as many have factored in up to two rate cuts for the year after slumping recent slumping employment data. Still, a rate cut could be avoided during this FOMC meeting as clarity regarding tariffs and trades is expected in the coming weeks with hearings on Capitol Hill and the upcoming G20 summit. While a major trade deal might not come from President Xi and President Trump’s meeting during the summit, an agreement could be reached with further trade talks to be scheduled. Look for Fed Chair Powell to meet with the press on Wednesday following the conclusion of the two-day meeting.

Dish Network, also seeing nice gains of over 3%, is the leading bidder to buy additional assets T-Mobile and Sprint are looking to shed for their merger to be approved. Finally, Huawei has curbed their outlook for 2019 and 2020 with expected sales dropping over $100 billion, seeing a $30 billion revenue hit from the U.S. ban.
