Holding Clearance Of Resistance At Bull Channel Base

US STOCKS
  • The S&P e-mini at 4526 has dipped just slightly off session highs of 4530.75 having earlier cleared resistance at 4515.52 (former bull channel base drawn from Mar 13) as Treasuries rallied on softer US data.
  • A clear break could open next resistance at 4560.75 (Aug 4 high) whilst support is seen at the 50-day EMA of 4450.02.
  • SPX trades +0.4% with the largest contributions from Apple (+1.7%) and Nvidia (+2.1%) in a mirror of yesterday, to see IT lead on the day (+0.95%).
  • Utilities lag (-0.5%) with WTI giving up earlier gains, whilst overall financials at +0.3% belies weakness in banks (-0.4%). The latter’s weakness did however come before Bloomberg quoting sources on the Fed privately ramping up demands for corrective actions by regional banks (KBW regional banking index -0.6% but off lows seen before the headlines), although the news has prevented any further intraday recovery.
  • Nasdaq outperforms the S&P 500 with +0.6%, whilst the Dow again underperforms with 0.2%.
