To start the week, U.S. markets traded to mixed results with the Nasdaq snapping a multi-day streak as it closed in the red while the Dow Jones and S&P booked modest gains. The volatility index (VIX) is at the $20 level and we recommend watching the critical support levels on the SPY at $445 and $440; we still expect some short-term correction to continue in the next two weeks. ORCL is one of the few remaining key earnings to be released this week as the latest earnings season winds down. Key economic reports due this week include August data for retail sales, industrial production, and Federal Budget. Following the Fed’s reassurance of transitory inflation, markets saw positive support pushing markets towards the upside. Earnings and the bond market will continue to dictate market movement as well as response COVID infection rates and Hurricane Ida’s impact. Globally, European markets closed in the green while Asian markets saw 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:
