Stock market today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq slip as semiconductor stocks plummet
The focus turns to Wednesday's release of the Producer Price Index and a wave of earnings.
In this episode of My Trading Game Plan, market strategist Gareth Soloway provides a comprehensive technical analysis of current market conditions following the release of PPI inflation data. Here is a summary of the key highlights:
Macroeconomic Updates:
PPI Inflation Data: The latest PPI data came in better than expected, following yesterday's positive CPI report. While this triggered a modest rally in S&P 500 futures, Soloway notes that the market's reaction has been relatively muted (0:42-1:44).
Yields and Dollar: Despite favorable inflation news, the 10-year yield and the US dollar have seen only minimal pullbacks, suggesting the market remains skeptical that inflation will return to the 2% target quickly (10:38-12:18).
Market Analysis & Stocks:
IBM: Following a record 25% drop on earnings, Soloway identifies a potential "reflex bounce" opportunity for IBM based on technical support levels between 215 and 218 (2:05-3:36).
Chip/Memory Sector: SK Hynix saw a significant move, but peer stocks like Micron, SanDisk, and STX did not follow suit, which Soloway views as a potential warning sign of rotation or underlying issues (7:21-8:16).
Earnings Reports: ASML posted strong earnings but showed signs of profit-taking (12:20-13:08). BlackRock is trading higher with a bullish inverse head and shoulders pattern, while Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs are approaching major resistance levels (13:09-15:33).
Commodities and Crypto:
Oil: Continues to be monitored closely due to geopolitical tensions, with Soloway noting the accuracy of previous technical calls on the commodity (15:34-16:34).
Gold & Silver: Both remain cautious; Soloway highlights that gold is "limping" despite the good economic data (17:32-18:22).
Bitcoin: The cryptocurrency is showing bullish signs, currently confirming a breakout from an inverse head and shoulders formation (18:23-18:49).
