On Monday, share prices plummeted as investors became concerned about additional Fed action and the possibility of a recession, especially with relatively low trading activity leading up to the holiday season. Last week, investors experienced a wild ride as the market initially reacted positively to signs that inflation was declining, only for stocks to fall sharply after the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy announcement. The central bank’s rate hike of 50 basis points wasn’t as drastic as past increases, yet still caused jitters in the markets. This is because analysts now forecast that interest rates will be higher than initially anticipated to contain inflation and protect against an economic recession – a worry which has become more pressing. Ahead of the holiday week, markets will see several key reports released including building permits and housing starts, consumer confidence index, Q3 GDP, and November PCE data.
This week, analysts are watching how the quarterly earnings reports of $MU, $FDX, and $CCL as well as CPE data will affect the trajectory of the market. We are watching the overhead resistance levels in the SPY, which are presently at $390 and then $402. The $SPY support is at $380 and then $370. At this moment, we anticipate the market will reach and surpass its current lows in the upcoming two to eight weeks. Therefore, it is advised that investors remain bearish about their positions and take necessary measures to protect them from potential losses. Globally, Asian markets closed in the red while European markets finished with varying levels of gains. Market commentary readers should maintain clearly defined stop levels for all positions.
