Major U.S. Indices Reach Intraday Records After Holiday-Weekend

by Vlad Karpel | 07/06/2020, 16:31

All three major U.S. indices trading significantly higher

After the holiday weekend, markets held onto their gains with all three major U.S. indices trading significantly higher. Tech and finance shares booked sharp gains while global markets also saw impressive growth- as both European and Asian markets closed in the green. Earnings remain light this week with reports from Walgreens, Shaw Communications, Paychex, and Bed Bath Beyond Inc. due to release, while corporate earnings season officially kicks off next week with major banks releasing Q2 data. May Job Openings and Consumer Credit reports are also due this week.

Short-term traders could consider adding to positions when SPY near $293

Until the market reaches $320 level for SPY, aggressive traders can consider adding to their positions as our models are projecting the SPY to trade between $270-$330 level. We still believe the market is overbought and we will continue monitoring VIX; the market can overshoot support and resistance levels when VIX is trading near $30 level and we will be buyers into any short-term corrections. Short-term traders could consider adding to positions when SPY near $293 and reducing exposure to the market at $320. Investors should consider hedging portfolios into the rallies and we encourage maintaining clearly defined stop-levels for all positions. For reference, the SPY Seasonal Chart is shown below:

Key U.S. Economic Reports/Events This Week

Job Openings (May) – Tuesday
Consumer Credit (May) – Wednesday
Weekly Jobless Claims (7/4) – Thursday
Wholesale Inventories (May) – Thursday
