Daily Commentary
Headline News:
U.S stock futures are higher this morning as better than expected Chinese trade data and a stable Yuan comfort trader. The bond market is sending warnings with the U.S. recession indicator reaching its highest level since 2017. European markets are higher, and Asian markets finished in the green.
Markets:
The S&P 500 has settled into a trading range of 2898.07-2822.12 after two days of churning sideways. The first line of potential support will be 2822.12 and then the important 2800 level. The last two up days have come on good volume but not enough to declare that the sellers have lost control. If the index can move through the 2898.07 level on good volume, investors may return to stocks.
We are currently long term bullish and short cautious.
