S&P 500 (SPY) Report – 8/02/22

Good morning traders!

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

We have another busy week unfolding, as 152 S&P 500 companies will be reporting earnings this week. So far, about 56% of the companies within the S&P 500 have already reported, with 73% reporting beat earnings, and 66% reporting beat revenue. We advise everyone to size down, and trade with caution as the market could go either direction very quickly (especially during earnings season).

The US manufacturing sector PMI revealed its lowest output of orders as production declines as well as demand. Chief Business Economist of S&P Global Market Intelligence, Chris Williamson, stated “With the exception of pandemic lockdown periods, July saw US manufacturers report the toughest business conditions since 2009. A growth spurt in the spring has quickly gone into reverse, with new orders for factory goods down for a second straight month in July, leading to the first drop in production for two years and sharply reduced employment growth. The rising cost of living is the most commonly cited cause of lower sales, as well as the worsening economic outlook”.
