China Willing to Negotiate, Mexico Wants Deal by June 10, Feb Willing to Lower Rates if Necessary...DJIA Above 25,000 Again...


© 2019

It’s amazing the difference a day can make.  Many observers say, “the market always goes down faster than it goes up.”  That is not true and today the SPY went more in one day than it went down over the past four days.

On Monday, SPY formed a neutral spinning top with a bullish lower shadow and positive breadth increased.  But sentiment about U.S./China trade talks, Mexico tariffs on June 10 and potential regulatory investigations into GOOGL, FB and AAPL was very negative. SPY fell to its lowest close since March 8, while QQQ, at its low on Monday, was down -11.53% from its 191.32 high on May 1.

Today, before the open, China’s Commerce Ministry said differences with the U.S. should be resolved through negotiations with mutual respect, suggesting there could be a path forward.  Mexican President said talks were going well and was optimistic that a deal could reached by June 10.  Fed Chair Powell and Chicago Fed President Evans, separately indicate the Fed is prepared to be flexible on a rate cut if necessary.

ES futures were up 22 points near the open and trended up all day and finished up 55 points on Tuesday triggering a very solid MACD bullish divergence bounce.  Potential multi-week price target on ES: 2,894 and SPY: 287.50.
