SPX might be getting ready to revisit the channel's lower bound

Telah dikemas kini
Unsurprisingly, yesterday’s FOMC meeting resulted in no change to the monetary policy. Then, during the press conference, Jerome Powell discussed the resilient economy, strong labor market, and persistent challenges to taming inflation. At some point during his speech, the stock market erased its losses and entered a green territory. However, this optimism lasted very shortly until the FED’s chairman suggested that central bankers had not reached enough confidence to start easing the monetary conditions, making a rate cut in March 2024 seem unlikely. As a result, the “higher for longer” theme is to stay with us and continue to exert pressure on the economy (plus, it is highly possible that we have not even seen the full effects of previous rate hikes on the economy due to the lag). With that said, our attention will be paid to today’s and tomorrow’s releases, particularly S&P Global Manufacturing PMI, unemployment rate, participation rate, and payrolls.
