The Markets
Stocks closed lower on Tuesday as investors reacted to a hotter than expected read of inflation in Canada and brace for the FOMC announcement on Wednesday. The S&P 500 Index ended the day down by just over two-tenths of one percent, closing marginally below short-term support at its 20-day moving average. The revelation of a lower-high below the 52-week high charted in July is becoming increasingly apparent, confirming the shift of the short to intermediate-term path that had supported a trend of higher prices since October of last year. Momentum indicators are rolling over around their middle lines with MACD back on a sell signal, showing a similar declining trend as that of price. Levels down to the June breakout point at 4200 remain fair game as part of this normal period of weakness/volatility in the market.
