The US stock market has been accelerating its stunning rally over the four recent weeks.
[6]
The S&P 500 has jumped 5% for the last three weeks.
[12]
This is a notable increase, even though Wall Street has been already trading at elevated
[19]
levels this year.
[21]
Apparently, the equity market is expected to exhaust its momentum in the not-too-distant
[28]
future.
[29]
So, analysts warn about either a strong retracement or a downward correction.
[36]
Now let’s discuss the current market situation.
[41]
Investors found out fresh evidence of improvement in the US labor market.
[46]
The jobless rate edged down 0.1% last month.
[51]
Besides, the employment growth in the US public and private sectors was beyond the consensus.
[59]
In light of the strong nonfarm payrolls, the US stock market is trading higher.
[65]
Since October 18, the S&P 500 has surged 240 points.
[73]
As a result, the index surpassed a 50-day moving average.
[77]
This proves robust bullish momentum.
[82]
Today futures on the S&P 500 are trading at near 4,680.
[85]
The quote is likely to rise to 4,700 points by Monday.
[96]
Let me remind you that large hedge funds commonly buy shares when their quotes retrace to a
[103]
50-day moving average.
[104]
Hence, analysts predict a correction for the S&P 500 in the near future, though not until
[111]
next week.
[113]
The US dollar advanced notably yesterday.
[116]
The Bank of England was the catalyst for the greenback’s strength.
[121]
Defying investors’ hopes, the regulator did not announce a rate hike.
[127]
Hence, the pound sterling plummeted 150 pips against the US dollar.
[132]
The euro is trading steadily versus its American rival.
[137]
All in all, the US dollar index is consolidating gains.
[141]
Now it is trading at about a one-year peak of 94.45.
[149]
Analysts foresee a retracement to nearly 94.20.
[151]
The index is set to trade at around the current levels in the medium term.
[162]
The broad-based strength of the US dollar pushed the USD/CAD pair up.
[167]
The loonie weakened due to a temporary decline of oil prices.
[171]
Crude oil abruptly pulled back to a one-week low.
[176]
Today the USD/CAD pair is trading at about 1.2466.
[181]
The expected corridor for the pair is between 1.2400 and 1.2500.
[190]
Another point for consideration is that the currency pair logged a modest climb yesterday.
[197]
So, when crude oil resumes its overall uptrend, the loonie will receive a boost and the USD/CAD
[205]
pair will reverse downwards.
[208]
Meanwhile, Bitcoin is still trading sideways at the level slightly above 60,000 dollars.
[215]
Yesterday, the whole crypto market made a correction following a decline of the flagship
[222]
cryptocurrency.
[223]
As long as Bitcoin remains in a tight range, we would warn you against opening short-term
[231]
positions on this trading instrument.
[232]
All we can do is to wait until Bitcoin exits the trading range.
[233]
The question is open when it will happen.
[234]
The number one cryptocurrency has been trading at around 61,700 dollars for a few days in
[235]
a row.
[236]
Any news, either positive or negative, will enable the price to escape the range in any
[237]
direction.
[238]
To sum up, the upbeat US nonfarm payrolls might trigger further growth both in stock
[241]
and commodity markets.
[243]
Nevertheless, our experts reckon that there is a strong likelihood of a deep correction
[249]
on Wall Street.
[250]
This can happen anytime in 1-2 weeks.
[254]
At present, there are no preconditions for the immediate correction.
[259]
That’s all for today!
[261]
See you again next week!
