S&P, yesterday’s close: Settled at 5625.25, up 3.75
NQ, yesterday’s close: Settled at 20,659.75, up 39.00
E-mini S&P and E-mini NQ futures settled at a fresh record highs to kick off a long week that begins heating up today. Fed Chair Powell visits Congress for his first of a two-day testimony at 9:00 am CT, before July CPI data is due Thursday. There is additional comments around that time from the Fed Vice Chair of Supervision Barr and Treasury Secretary Yellen, but most interesting is Fed Governor Bowman due to speak at 12:30 pm CT. She is known as the most hawkish voice at the Fed, and it begs the question, is she planned to balance a more dovish Fed Chair Powell? Certainly, we would believe comments from Powell hold more weight.
After a consolidation off early morning highs yesterday, price action in E-mini S&P and E-mini NQ futures ramped in the final hour, led by tech. This is easily distinguished from the E-mini Dow’s silence. We highlight major three-star support aligning that late afternoon low with unchanged on the week at 5619.25-5621.50 in the E-mini S&P and 20,617-20,621 in the E-mini NQ. Furthermore, price action is firm above our near-term momentum indicator detailed as our Pivot and point of balance below. We believe continued price action above here as the day unfolds stokes higher prices.
