Markets are modestly up today and remain near all-time highs for all three major indices. Strong economic data, including recent real estate and labor reports, is supporting U.S. markets while the lack of progress in U.S.-China trade developments is weighing on global markets. A trip to visit U.S. farm states by the Chinese administration was canceled on Friday but trade talks and sentiment remain positive going into next month’s meeting. The SPY short term support is near 50-days MA on SPY, $295, indicating the market has broken out of August range and we do not see the potential for the market to overshoot all-time high of $302. The SPY continues to trade between $294-$302 and we believe the market is range-bound for the time being. We will look to buy when SPY is near $282 and sell near $300. We encourage maintaining clearly defined stop levels for all positions as further volatility is expected. For reference, the SPY Seasonal Chart is shown below:
All three major U.S. indices are on track to close in the green today following last week’s U.S.-China trade development and central bank decisions. Both the U.S. Fed and European Central Bank decided to cut interest rates over the last two weeks while China and U.S. have both announced recent tariff exemptions. Promising developments in U.S.-China negotiations ahead of next month’s meeting is easing global trade tensions and supporting markets to near-record highs. Last week, China canceled a trip to U.S. farm states but which caused markets to slightly dip on Friday but does not look to impact markets further as October’s meeting remains intact. Economic reports remain light this week with several reports releasing later in the week including GDP revision, personal income, and core inflation.
