S&P 500 (SPY) Report – 7/12/22

Good morning traders!

The S&P 500 ($SPY) is trading lower from yesterday’s close. Let’s get into it…

The $SPY showed its weakness yesterday near the end of the trading session making new lows on the day before the market closed. The $SPY dropped to $381.10 pre-market, making a gap on the daily chart that bulls will be watching to try and fill. The team at DailyBubble believes the underlying fears in the market are still present, and that sellers are nearby waiting for an opportunity to short the market. We advise everyone to size down, and trade with caution as the market could go either direction very quickly. 

In the news, President of the St. Louis Federal Reserve James Bullard stated that he is in favor of a 0.75 percentage point increase in interest rates and that the Fed’s target of 2 percent inflation can be achieved without negatively impacting the economy. “Now we have lots of inflation, but the question is, can we get (inflation) back to 2% without disrupting the economy? I think we can.” Esther George, President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland also spoke and said, “I’m certainly sympathetic to the view that interest rates need to increase rapidly, recognizing that current rates are out of sync with today’s economic landscape,” “However … policy changes transmit to the economy with a lag, and significant and abrupt changes can be unsettling to households and small businesses as they make necessary adjustments.”
