Major U.S. Indicies retreated today, closing in the red, with continued pressure from inflation and COVID economic-recovery concerns. Large-cap tech stocks were able provide some support as Apple and Amazon, as well as Tesla, traded higher on Wednesday. Treasury Yields pulled back also which helped limit drops across the market. Better than expected retail sales data for October also offered some support as the last portion of key earnings is set to release in the coming sessions. We are still expecting earnings to be the main factor influencing markets this week; TGT, WMT, and BIDU are key earnings announcements this week that can potentially influence market direction. Lowe’s saw shares boosted following strong earnings while Target shares sold off after warnings in its report regarding rising costs worried investors. Also making moves today are Roku, currently down 11% after getting downgraded by analysts, while Moderna rose over 4% following continued expansion and authorization. The VIX trades near $17 level with fear of runaway inflation impacting next move in action too. Please watch these critical support points on SPY-462 then 455 for us as we do expect that there will continue some pullbacks before rebounding by December. Globally, both Asian and European markets traded to mixed results. We encourage all market commentary readers to maintain clearly defined stop levels for all positions. For reference, the SPY Seasonal Chart is shown below:
