The USA market opened the week with a gap up to SPX 1945, pulled back to 1928 by Tuesday, then gapped up twice more during the week to hit 1964 on Friday. Then some geopolitical news spooked the market and it sold off to SPX 1942 before rebounding in the afternoon. For the week the SPX/DOW 0.95%, the NDX/NAZ were +2.40%, and the DJ World index rose 1.65%. On the economic front positive reports were slightly more than negative ones. On the uptick: business inventories, export prices, the PPI, industrial production, capacity utilization and the budget deficit improved. On the downtick: the NY FED, consumer sentiment, the WLEI and weekly jobless claims rose. Next week we get the FOMC minutes, reports on Housing, Jackson Hole, Wy., and Leading indicators.
Short term support is at SPX 1942 and the 1929 pivot, with
resistance at the 1956 and 1973 pivots. Short term momentum ended the week
above neutral. The short term OEW charts ended positive with the reversal level
now 1951.
Support for the SPX remains at 1928, 1908, 1900 and then
1870 resistance at 1956 and then 1973.Best to your trading what sets up to be a
