Why the Market Is Likely Going to Be Muted Heading Into a BIG Week of Fed Data

by | Aug 9, 2024

Catch Jeffry at 1 p.m. ET to see how his automatic “trade finder” raked in 115 winning trades in July — and get today’s top trade ideas!

Stocks are relatively flat premarket and the big question right now is…

Is the S&P 500 going to break through its 100-day moving average and eight-day EMA, or is it going to come back down?

If we start coming up, things will get super bullish. If it starts dropping, I think you can guess what that means. 

Personally, I’m neutral. 

The other big question right now is if we’re going to have a recession or a soft landing. We’ll get more data on that next, so I believe the things will be cautious up until then. 

In addition to big data next week, we also have monthly options expiration on Friday (the third Friday every month), which always brings some volatility. 

Monday is generally a rotation day, but we have the Producer and Consumer Price Index inflation reports coming Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively. We also have Industrial Production, Retail Sales and Consumer Sentiment. 

This is a lot of data that the Fed pays close attention to, and it can definitely move markets…

I’ll cover all that, my daily hitlist of longs and shorts and more in this morning’s “Premarket Must Watch” video!
