On Monday, stocks in the U.S tumbled, even nearing a bear market close as investors continue to worry about the economy in regards to the latest interest rates and currency levels. Although there was an initial boost behind tech in the market today, U.S. stocks were not able to hold on to gains with all three major U.S. indices closing in the red. Stocks fell hard last week, with the Dow dropping 4% and ending Friday at its lowest point in almost a year while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite both plummeted nearly 5%. The dollar has been in the midst of a strong rally following the latest FOMC decision to hike rates, nearing a 20-year high. This also sent long term treasury yields higher, with the 10-year note nearing 4%. Elsewhere, gold and oil sold off to open the week while the volatility index, the VIX, traded higher near the $31 range. Globally, Asian markets traded lower while European markets closed to mixed results.
Earnings season is right around the corner with a few big names reporting to end this week, and more to come in the next few weeks. CarMax, Rite Aid, and Micron Tech are due to report on Thursday, while Carnival will report on Friday. Several key Federal Reserve members spoke today while several additional speeches from Fed members, including Powell on Tuesday, are due this week as well. Look out for key inflation data to also release this week with PCE info on Friday. GDP revisions for Q2 will be released on Thursday. We’re keeping an eye on the SPY’s overhead resistance levels, which are presently at $380 and $390. The $SPY support level is $360 and then $350. We expect the market to continue the current pullback for the next 2-8 weeks. Short term market is oversold and can stage a multiple-week rally. We encourage all market commentary readers to maintain clearly defined stop levels for all positions. For reference, the SPY Seasonal Chart is shown below:
