The Markets
Stocks closed in the green on Wednesday as the market shrugged off a hotter than expected read of infaltionary pressures in the economy. The S&P 500 Index closed with a gain of four-tenths of one percent, remaining elevated above the band of support between 4100 and 4200. The benchmark finds itself in the middle of a range of resistance between the 20 and 50-day moving averages at 4340 and 4410, respectively. For now, yields and the dollar remain the primary drivers of market performance and, so long as they are alleviating their overbought rise charted in recent months, the leeway is present to allow stocks to remain afloat above levels of support.
Today, in our Market Outlook to subscribers, we discuss the following:
- Producer Price Index (PPI) for September
- Alleviation of the parabolic decline in the bond market
- Pre-election year tendencies for stocks, both generally and when an incumbent president is up for re-election
- Wholesales Sales and Inventories
