Daily Commentary
Headline News:
U.S. stock markets are set to open unchanged after China reported weak industrial production numbers, retail sales, and fixed assets investments. Federal Reserve Chairman Powell will testify before the House Budget Committee, and Wall Street will hope he continues to feel a “sustained expansion” ahead for the U.S. Economy.
Markets:
The S&P 500 remained in an eight-day trading range of 3050.72-3097.77 and closed Wednesday at 3094.04. Volume continues to be lower than average, and the RSI index is still just under the overbought level of 70. We continue to believe the next move could possibly be higher out of the trading range to a new all-time high.
We are currently long term bullish and short term bullish.
