After a back and forth week, U.S. stocks ended the week higher as the latest economic relief package was signed into law by President Biden. The American Rescue Plan will provide an additional round of stimulus checks, extend unemployment benefits, rework several tax codes, and provide over $160 billion towards vaccine development and distribution, as well as an additional $20 billion towards community vaccination sites. While the market will likely continue to see the impact of the bill in weeks to come, focus now turns to this week’s Federal Open Market Committee and the latest decision from the central bank. The two-day meeting will conclude on Wednesday with Fed Chair Jerome Powell holding a press conference while additional key economic reports due to release this week include February Retail Sales, Industrial Production, Building Starts and Permits, and the weekly unemployment report. The recent rise in treasury yields, something Powell will likely address in his comments Wednesday, has seemed to slow with the 10-year note trending down today, at 1.610%. Globally, European markets finished unanimously lower while Asian markets closed to mixed results. Momentum behind the bulls is deteriorating and we expect a short term correction this week or the next, back to the 50-day moving average. Until an additional breakout is maintained, our models are projecting the SPY to trade in the range of $375-$397. The next level of support is set at the 50-day moving average of $375-$380 and we encourage all market commentary readers to maintain clearly defined stop-levels for all positions.
