Resistance to watch for $SPX is at 3,989 level, a continuation to break its all time high level.
US Employment Report (March)
The March jobs report is scheduled for a morning when the stock market is closed for the Good Friday holiday, but bonds will trade half a day, ending at noon. The labor market is expected to show signs of recovery following the approval of President Biden’s relief package and as several states ease coronavirus-induced restrictions amid the rapid pace of vaccination.
Infrastructure Plan
President Joe Biden is expected to unveil details of his $3 trillion to $4 trillion infrastructure plan on Wednesday in Pittsburgh, but strategists say it is too soon to say what form the plan could take or how large it will be in its final form.
The plan is expected to span multiple years, and Democrats are expected to seek tax hikes to pay for it.
Rotation
The rotation into cyclicals and value stocks is expected to continue into the next quarter. For the first quarter so far, energy and financials were the best performers, up about 33% and 16.5% respectively. Tech was up 1.7%, but it remains a better performer than utilities and consumer staples.
Long on S&P 500During the last few days, both Cryptocurrency prices and US equity prices has been shaky and have dropped from their ATH (All-time-high). Reason being that there was uncertainty in leading up to Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell speech.
Many investors were speculating that interest rate might increase together with treasury yields because inflation of 2% is being met by the economy.
So how does interest rate affects prices of cryptocurrencies and US stocks?
If interest rates increases, US market will suffer because the cost of borrowing for big companies increases. On top of that, the returns on risk free investment, ie deposits with the banks would increases, therefore there will be an outflow of investments from cryptocurrencies and equities into these safer fixed income assets with the government and banks since interest rate increases and returns are slightly more attractive.
However, Powell announced yesterday (12 hours ago) that economy still needs Fed support and pushes back on inflation worries. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell on Tuesday pushed back on suggestions that U.S. central bank support for the economy risked inflating a dangerous asset bubble, insisting the support was still needed and that investors were responding mostly to expectations for a successful recovery.
Therefore, i believe this year will still rally for both cryptocurrency and US market and we will see a rebound from this dip soon.
US Market Technicals Ahead (22 Feb – 26 Feb 2021)The US is releasing the second estimate of Q4 GDP, alongside durable goods orders, personal income and outlays, and PCE price index.
