After trading lower Tuesday and Wednesday, major U.S. indices are in the green today. Weekly labor report showed a slight gain in the number of Americans applying for unemployment, further adding to the speculation the Fed will cut rates this year. Oil futures rose after an incident in the Gulf of Oman while energy is also significantly up today. Look for Broadcom earnings after market close today and several notable U.S economic reports tomorrow: retail sales, industrial production, consumer sentiment index, business inventories. Overhead resistance for SPY is at $290 and we encourage our readers to avoid chasing near this number. We expect the market to remain between $286-$290 and encourage our readers to buy near $286. If the market breaks $290 for a couple of days we could see it retest 52 weeks high for the SPY. For reference, the SPY Seasonal Chart is shown below:
U.S.-China trade concerns seem to have eased off markets as major market-focus now turns to recent economic reports. With a slight spike in unemployment the last two weeks, a rate cut by the Fed in the next two FOMC meetings is now seeming more likely. Also in focus is the latest U.S. budget report which showed U.S. budget deficit expanded to $738.6 billion in 2019. This number is significantly larger than last year’s deficit data, despite revenue rising from the latest tariffs on imports. Next week, look for May housing data as well as FOMC decision with a two-day meeting wraps up on Wednesday. Fed Chair Powell will hold a press conference following the meeting.
Lululemon earnings released yesterday supported the stock with better than expected numbers, pushing shares up 2%. Broadcom is set to report quarterly earnings after the market closes today while next week’s earnings load remains light. Globally, Europen markets closed lower while Asian markets were modestly split. Two oil tankers were attacked and sank near Iran and the United Arab Emirates, reportedly. Several sailors were rescued by the U.S. Navy. One of the tankers was headed to Japan further increasing tension. Crude oil numbers spiked following the attack. Speculation continues to mount that Iran will pull out of the 2015 nuclear deal. President Trump pulled the U.S. out of the deal last year, which was also signed by China, Russian, France, U.K., and Germany.
