Tech costs hurtingFollowing on from Alphabet’s better-than-expected earnings report on Tuesday evening, Microsoft and Meta Platforms were the next two ‘Magnificent Seven’ constituents to update the market. Both companies reported after last night’s close, and both managed to disappoint investors in slightly different ways. Microsoft beat expectations for both earnings and revenues. But it issued a downbeat outlook for future growth which saw the stock drop 4% in early trade. Meta also posted revenues and earnings above those forecast. But user numbers came in light and the company warned that infrastructure expenses were set to soar due to spending related to generative AI. The stock fell 5.5% on the news, but has pared some of those losses this morning. The news has put investors on edge as they await results from Apple and Amazon after tonight’s close. Other significant earnings reports are due today from Uber and Intel. Meanwhile, Merck was up over 1% after announcing solid third quarter earnings and revenues, helped by sales of its cancer drug Keytruda. Sentiment towards tech hasn’t been helped by the sell-off in Advanced Micro Computers which dropped 8% earlier this week on an earnings miss, and following a slump of 37% in Super Micro Computers after the resignation of its auditors. US stock index futures are on the backfoot this morning, led by the NASDAQ which is down 1%. This follows a negative session yesterday which saw modest losses for all the majors. On the economic data front, today sees the release of weekly Unemployment Claims together with Core PCE, the Fed’s preferred inflation measure. Back in the summer, this hit its lowest level in over three years at 2.6% year-on-year. But it has ticked up since then, which, should it do so again today, may persuade the Fed to hold off from cutting rates in December. The probability of a 25 basis point cut at next week’s meeting is unlikely to be affected, as it stands at 96%, according to the CME’s FedWatch Tool. Yesterday, the first look at Q3 GDP came in at 2.8% annualised, and below the 3.0% expected. But there was an unexpected jump in ADP Payrolls, although it is tomorrow’s official Non-Farm Payrolls which are of greater importance as far as investors are concerned. But investors look slightly rattled for now. Further bad news on tech earnings could see more shredded nerves and a tendency to sell first and ask questions later.

SPX: s short break? After the winning streak during the last six weeks, the S&P 500 decided to relax a bit during the previous week. The index closed the week 0,3% lower, at the level of 5.808. While tech companies for one more time drove the markets higher, still, healthcare and manufacturing industries slowed down a bit. It should be especially mentioned TSLAs weekly performance, where shares of this company surged by 22%. This was the best performance of the company for the last 11 years, after TSLA posted better than expected Q3 results. The sentiment on the markets was mixed considering increased US Treasury yields and also effects of the hurricane in Florida. This mixed sentiment could continue during the week ahead, considering important macro data which is set for a release. The Fed's favorite inflation gauge, the PCE index and Non-farm payrolls might bring some volatility back to markets in case of any surprises from current market expectations.

S&P 500TREND ; The S&P 500 index is currently in an uptrend (Bullish), characterized by higher highs and higher lows since mid-August. PLAN : • The support zone around 5,670 acted as a base for a recent upward move. • The 5,870 level seems to be a key resistance area, and price is currently testing this level. • If the price breaks above the 5,870 resistance level, my potential target will be around 5,989.15. • Note that the blue arrow indicates the measured move from the support level at 5,750 up to the resistance at 5,870, which could imply the projected target if this breakout occurs.

Market dynamics and Fed's role - Trump Re-ElectionRecent polls and market predictions have fueled speculations of a potential re-election for former U.S. President Donald Trump, with investors eyeing so-called “Trump trades” — strategies that typically involve a stronger dollar, reduced interest rates, and a preference for U.S. stocks over international ones. While these investments appear to be gaining momentum, there are concerns among financial institutions that they may have already reached their peak, potentially limiting gains in the near future. However, a significant factor adding complexity to this landscape is the role of the Fed and its influence on economic performance through its monetary policies. The Fed’s recent rate cuts, inflation control, and employment policies could have a decisive impact on both “Trump trades” and broader market stability. The Fed’s Dual Mandate: Inflation Control and Full Employment The U.S. Federal Reserve operates with a dual mandate: to maintain an annual inflation rate of 2% as measured by the Consumer Price Index and to sustain full employment, although it doesn’t set a specific target for the unemployment rate. When the CPI strays too far from the 2% goal, or if there are dramatic shifts in employment, the Fed adjusts the federal funds rate to influence economic conditions. In 2022, the CPI hit a 40-year high of 8%, prompting a swift response from the Fed. Contributing factors included the trillions of dollars injected into the economy during 2020 and 2021 to offset the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, near-zero interest rates, and quantitative easing measures that flooded the financial system with liquidity. In response, the Fed raised the federal funds rate to 5.33%, marking a two-decade high. This aggressive policy adjustment has since helped bring the CPI down to an annualized rate of 2.4% as of September 2024, aligning closer to the Fed’s target. September Rate Cut and Market Expectations for November In light of these trends, the Federal Open Market Committee at the Fed decided to cut the federal funds rate by half a percentage point in its September meeting. The upcoming FOMC meeting scheduled for early November raises the question of whether another rate cut could be imminent. Given that inflation is trending toward the 2% target, a further rate cut seems likely. Moreover, with the unemployment rate climbing from 3.7% to 4.1% this year, there are signs of potential weakening in the job market, reinforcing the need for the Fed to support economic growth before further job losses occur. Chairman Jerome Powell has indicated that the downside risks to employment have increased, which might justify additional rate reductions. According to the FOMC’s September projections, there could be another 50 basis points of cuts before year’s end. With only November and December meetings remaining, most predictions suggest two 25-basis-point cuts in each session. The CME Group’s FedWatch tool reflects a 95% probability of a 25-basis-point cut next week, with a 78% likelihood of a similar cut in December. Impact of Rate Cuts on Trump Trades and Broader Markets These potential rate cuts have mixed implications for "Trump trades." Lower interest rates can benefit U.S. stocks in the long run by reducing borrowing costs for businesses, boosting their capacity for growth, and increasing consumer spending power. This environment would likely favor sectors central to “Trump trades” — primarily energy, finance, and certain defensive industries — especially if Trump secures re-election. On the other hand, if Harris wins, analysts anticipate a more balanced international investment landscape, which could weaken the dollar and shift investment attractiveness from U.S. to international stocks. Harris’s policies, expected to support environmentally friendly sectors and lessen trade tensions, may also benefit industries outside the U.S., including healthcare and manufacturing. Long-Term Rate Cuts and Economic Growth Outlook Looking beyond this year, the FOMC’s forecast indicates the possibility of an additional 125 basis points of cuts in 2025, with a final 25-basis-point cut in 2026. If realized, this would bring the federal funds rate to approximately 2.88%, nearly halving it from its recent peak. Historically, such reductions support stock markets, enhancing growth across various sectors by enabling corporations to expand with cheaper credit and improve profitability with lower interest costs. Still, investors remain cautious. Rate cuts are favorable for stocks only when economic conditions are stable. If further unemployment spikes indicate deeper economic challenges, investors could pull back, particularly from “Trump trades,” opting for safer assets amid heightened uncertainty. Preparing for Market Adjustments Based on Election Outcomes As the November elections draw near, markets remain highly sensitive to both political forecasts and the Fed’s rate decisions. While “Trump trades” show ongoing upward momentum, the potential for an investment realignment looms based on the election outcome. Investors are preparing for scenarios under both Trump and Harris, each with profound implications for the U.S. and global economy. In either case, the Fed’s monetary policy — and its influence over inflation and employment — will be crucial in shaping the investment landscape for the coming years.

Brief drop due to Electrions chaos, then back up a month afterI was checking last elections on 2012, 2016 and 2020. Seems that there is a brief drop before elections each time (5% to 10%) in the overall S&P500 (SPX). This year, seems that drop is not meaningful yet. Regarthless, I think going defensive this week to be heavy in cash. Then buy back into the market if price hits 5400 previous to Dec. It it do, I'll buy back 25% of SPX and wait if the trend still going in the direction to hit ~5000. If it do, might be back fully invested into the market to hope for a bounce back up signal. We can protect ourselves of a 10% loss if I get this one right OR we can miss 5% on profits if the trend keeps going up in Nov and Dec. Messy chart but I put my resistances and trends in here. Any thoughts?

SPX500 H4 | Falling to 38.2% Fibonacci supportSPX500 is falling towards a pullback support and could potentially bounce off this level to climb higher. Buy entry is at 5,807.01 which is a pullback support that aligns with the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level. Stop loss is at 5,760.00 which is a level that lies underneath an overlap support and the 23.6% and 61.8% Fibonacci retracement levels. Take profit is at 5,881.22 which is a swing-high resistance close to the all-time high.

$spx going to 11k over the next 3 to 4 yearsIm expecting the current bull to continue for another few years, with a deep correction in between now and the expected target of 11 k, by 2028/29... From there I expect SP:SPX to enter a sideways bear market such as the ones of 68/75 and 2000/2009 in order to form the 4th base of the secular run since 1929 (shown the comments). Bears always get it wrong, because of their self-delusions about the world and often also themselves! It's bulls who - due to their prescience and foresight - actually get to foresee tops in the market. Bears never catch a top, if they do it's either by coincidence, luck or something a four year old could have seen, like the covid top... anyway... we see so much madness in the ideas section, it's even fun!
