Markets are extending their gains following yesterday’s no rate-change decision, notching four straight days major U.S. indices are in the green. Gold and oil remain on the rise while treasury notes are in the red today. Other than keeping rates unchanged, the biggest news from yesterday’s FOMC came in the form of Powell’s post-meeting presser where it was implied rates would be cut if China-U.S. uncertainty continues to affect markets as well as the removal of the term “patient” from the policy. Canopy Growth and Red Hat will report earnings after market close today, next week look for FedEx, Micron, and Nike earnings. Currently, the SPY is trading at an all-time high and we expect the market to remain between $286-$296. However, we do not see market momentum carrying SPY above $300 level. We encourage our readers to avoid chasing near $296 and look to buy near $286. For reference, the SPY Seasonal Chart is shown below:
After the conclusion of the two-day FOMC meeting yesterday, Fed Chair Jerome Powell met with the press to discuss the no rate change decision, citing low inflation and overall strong employment. Another factor likely influencing the decision is the upcoming G20 meeting in Japan at the end of the month where President Trump and President Xi are set to meet. England and Japan, also holding policy update meeting this week, similarly decided to keep rates unchanged and discussed the current global risk uncertainty.
Oil prices moved up 5% following geopolitical tension in the Middle East where Iran has allegedly shot down U.S. drone flying in its airspace. President Trump has since then called the move “a very big mistake.” Gold futures also rose, up 3%, opposite of a lowering dollar and treasury yields currently in the red. Globally, markets closed in the green in both Asia and Europe. Next week, look for new home sales, GDP revision, core inflation, and personal income data.
