S&P 500 (SPY) Report – 03/23/23
Good morning traders!
The S&P 500 ($SPY) is trading above yesterday’s close. Let’s get into it…
The $SPY is trading higher this morning after Wednesday’s sell-off following the Federal Reserve’s decision to raise rates. According to CNBC’s Jim Cramer, the market’s tumble on Wednesday was not due to the Fed’s rate hike, but rather Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen’s remarks about the government not bailing out shareholders, bondholders, or depositors in failed banks. Cramer believes that the Fed’s rate increase is logical and reasonable and that it should be viewed positively. However, Yellen’s comments and Powell’s remarks about bank fragility have caused fear and instability in the market. As for recent economic data, weekly initial unemployment claims fell to 191,000, which was lower than expected, while new home sales for February were expected to decline compared to January’s numbers.
