SPX 500

The USD is continuing a bounce and stocks are pushing higher to further moves that started to spark last week.

After a bright start, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 were coming off their highs, while the Dow and Russell lost their earlier gains. The loss of momentum comes after the S&P enjoyed one of its strongest days so far this year in the previous session. Clearly, investors are fearful about further volatility ahead and are happy to book profit, as the major indices test key resistance areas.

SPX broke its weekly losing streak last week and this week is starting off on a more optimistic tone.

Wall Street staged a respectable bounce following Powell’s somewhat dovish tone, but—as we’ve seen in recent sessions, the gains could not hold for too long.

Stocks showed a strong reaction to the Fed and Gold hit a fresh ATH. Currencies were more muted but the question now is follow-through given the tenuous tariff topic.

US stocks are opening lower after modest gains yesterday, as the mood remains cautious at the start of the Federal Reserve two-day meeting and ahead of Nvidia CEO Huang’s speech later today. The Fed is expected to leave rates unchanged, but updated economic projections should provide some clues about how policymakers see Trump's tariffs impacting the economy.

It’s been a fast re-pricing in stocks over the past four weeks and this week brings the Fed.

A brutal week saw a strong Friday bounce, but there’s no clear evidence yet that a low is in-place after four weeks of selling.

US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick hinted at a compromise on tariffs on Tuesday, while Trump himself acknowledged that there may be an “adjustment period” to tariffs. The key question for the near-term S&P 500 outlook now is whether the recovery will hold?

It’s been a fast start to the week with selloffs in both U.S. equities and the USD. But volatility continues to flow and tonight brings a State of the Union Speech from President Trump.

S&P 500: forecast: Markets took a beating across the board and were at their lows at the time of writing. Sentiment turned sour as mounting fears over the economic fallout from an escalating trade war drove investors towards short-term bonds, gold, and haven currencies like the yen.

US stocks are heading modestly higher, stabilizing from yesterday’s sell-off as investors weigh up core PCE data and lingering trade tariff worries. Core PCE eased to 2.6% YoY, from 2.9% in December. The mood could remain cautious ahead of Trump's trade tariffs on Mexican, Canadian, and Chinese imports starting Monday.

US stocks are heading for a mixed start, with the Nasdaq and the S&P 500 rising after Nvidia’s upbeat numbers. However, the Dow Jones fell into the red after President Trump said that Canada and Mexico trade tariffs would go ahead as planned. US Q4 GDP was upwardly revised to 2.4%, but more timely jobless claims rose to 242k.

Nothing else seems to matter today, and there is not much on the economic calendar to shift the focus away. So, earnings from Nvidia and the performance of the technology stocks in general is what will impact the S&P 500 forecast.

US index futures came off their earlier lows as European markets bounced back to trade higher across the board, with the major indices here showing gains of 0.5 to 1.3 percent by midday in London.

US stocks are heading for a stronger start, rebounding from last week's losses as investors look ahead to Trump's speech later today and Nvidia's earnings later in the week. Soft data last week sent all three indices sharply lower amid signs that businesses and consumers were losing confidence owing to the Trump administration's policies.

Stocks got rocked on Friday despite an abysmal PMI print, which suggests that the door may be opening for rate cuts later this year. Perhaps more concerning to the matter is the USD/JPY sell-off.
