SPX will move?

Seabrook Discussion 7pm Wednesday

New Age Traders Noon Thursday

  1. High Volatility: VIX > 25. The Fed strikes Fear into the global markets. SPX dropped 150 points on Friday almost two times the expected move. Going forward, Bad Economic news is just bad news for the markets. Could we see a retest of the June lows before the midterm elections? Please keep your hedges on through the Midterm elections. The rise of both the US Dollar and Interest rates are hurting US Markets, Consumers and Businesses. The money printing machines are on full blast with the ECB buying Unlimited Bonds and the US $738 Billion Inflation Reduction Act. The new expected SPX range for this week: 4167 top and 3948 bottom.

SPX 3Y chart

  1. US Dollar and 10 Year Interest Rate:

The US Dollar is ranging around 109 with the EURO at US Dollar Parity. It spiked to a new high of 109.478 on Fed Chairman Powell’s Jackson Hole Speech. The 10Y Note Interest is above 3% and 30 year fixed rate mortgages are around 6-6.5%. The Yield curve for the 2year vs 10 year near 2000 levels. In the past, 2 negative GDP Quarters signaled a recession, but apparently this time is different?!?!? Long Term the US Dollar decline is still intact with Fiscal and Monetary stimulus flooding the world with US Dollars.
