The Markets
Stocks remained on edge ahead of the release of the pivotal Consumer Price Index report that is slated to be released on Thursday. The S&P 500 Index shed a third of one percent, continuing to sit below previous support around the June low. Major moving averages continue to point lower, providing hurdles to sell into in order to alleviate equity exposure in portfolios until such point that the trajectories shift. Momentum indicators are similarly showing characteristics of a bearish trend, giving little to be encouraged of the prevailing trend, yet. Below the June lows, the next major hurdles are the 50% retracement level of the entire pandemic rally at 3500, followed by the lower limit of the broadening declining range at 3400. Both are round numbers and hold psychological significance for investors to contemplate the value that has been derived by this year’s pullback. The latter level at 3400 also corresponds to the pre-pandemic high set in February of 2020, which, if hit, would bring the market full circle from the dramatic decline attributed to the pandemic recession followed by the significant rise attributed to the stimulus injection. While the trend of the market is still lower, something that is unlikely to change this year, we still view the probability of seeing strength through the end of the year as being more likely than not. Whether that means we chart that low this month or next we will leave open to debate.
