S&P 500 (SPY) Report – 7/19/22

Good morning traders!

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

The $SPY is still trading in a sideways channel and has been for the last 16 sessions, between $371.04 and a high of $393.16, waiting to pick a direction. The S&P 500 fell 21% during the first half of 2022, making it the worst start to a year for stock investors since 1970. On June 13, the index entered a bear market after closing more than 20% below its early January peak. Since then, the market has partially rebounded, but investors still have concerns. The Ukrainian conflict, rising interest rates, increasing inflation, and a potential recession are just a few of the risk factors that the markets have been concentrating on this year.

In the news, according to US Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, legislation to provide $52 billion for American semiconductor production may soon be on the way. He anticipates a potential procedural vote on Tuesday. For firms to establish semiconductor manufacturing facilities in the United States, it will offer grants, tax credits, and other financial incentives.
