Markets are on the move up today as the latest in U.S.-China negotiations provided a positive sentiment going forward. All three major U.S. indices are on track to close in the green following President Trump’s comments during the G-7 meeting, in which he stated the Chinese government requested a restart for trade talks. This renewed optimism for the upcoming trade talks following the announcement of more tariffs levied on China last week. Globally, Asian markets closed significantly lower while European markets were mixed. The G-7 meeting continues in France today with a continued focus on Brexit and global trade, as well as the recent announcement of a deal between the U.S. and Japan. We see the potential for the market to overshoot to 50-days MA on SPY which would be around $293-$294 level, while further volatility is expected. SPY support sits at $277-$282 and we encourage selling when the market is near $290 and looking to buy near $278 for the SPY. Market Commentary readers are urged to have clearly defined stop levels for all positions during this period of volatility. For reference, the SPY Seasonal Chart is shown below:
Global trade relations remain in the forefront of market news and continue to control sentiment with all three major U.S. indices lowering on Friday following additional tariff news while today markets are rising off promising comments from both nations’ leaders. President Trump stated, following the first day of the G-7 meeting, that China has come forth asking to restart trade talks. Both China and the U.S. have continued levy tariffs against each other and the next round of talks is scheduled for September. Also making international rounds today is news of a U.S.-Japan deal that is aimed to lower tariffs and support agricultural products and auto exports. The G-7 meeting continues in France as Brexit uncertainty remains one of its biggest concerns.
Earnings and economic reports remain light this week with only several notable releases scheduled. Foreign trade deficit, motor vehicle sales, and factory order data is due to release this week while Hewlett Packard and Best Buy report earnings. Manufacturing data and weekly labor reports will also release later this week. Major market focus will remain on U.S.-China relations as well as Brexit and next month’s FOMC meeting.
