After snapping a multi-day losing streak on Tuesday, major U.S. indices returned gains with the S&P and Nasdaq on track for over 1% losses while the Dow trades 0.90% lower. The latest top for the SPY is set at $360 and we believe it could be retested by the end of September or early October. Fed Chair Jerome Powell met with Congress yesterday and testified on the CARES Act while today Powell is due to discuss the overall COVID economic impact and outlook. Vaccine progress looks to support markets with any positive news while the upcoming U.S. election, only a few weeks away, could also factor into market sentiment. Nike saw impressive gains of over 10% after their earnings topped estimates while Tesla dipped over 9% following lukewarm reception, amongst other concerns, to their “Battery Day” event. General Mills, having also recently released earnings, saw shares edge higher; additional earnings to monitor this week include Costco and CarMax on Thursday. With the SPY having broken through its overhead resistance at $340, short-term traders could consider adding to positions when SPY is near $332. Our models are still projecting the SPY to trade in the range of $318-$360 and we will look to be buyers into any short-term corrections. We continue monitoring the VIX as the market can overshoot support and resistance levels when VIX is trading near $30 level, and we encourage all market commentary readers to maintain clearly defined stop-levels for all positions.
