Moscow Mayor: Three drones were shot down on their way to Moscow.Hong Kong stocks with new consumption concepts weakened in the afternoon, with Pop Mart (09992.HK) falling more than 4%, Gu Ming (01364.HK) falling more than 2%, and BRUCO (00325.HK), Cha Baidao (02555.HK) and others following suit.Intel shares rose 9.1 percent in Frankfurt after its third-quarter results beat expectations.On October 24th, Ilya Spivak, global head of macro at the financial analytics platform tastylive, predicted that the September US CPI report would show the headline CPI reaching a 16-month high of 3.1% annually, while the core CPI would remain at 3.1%, matching the five-month high reached in July. This would mark the first true test of the Federal Reserves monetary policy direction in September. There is reason for concern about inflation, as the Trump administrations tariffs continue to filter through to prices. A clear sign is that core goods inflation reached a two-year high in August. Services price growth cooled in July and August, but the ISM data suggests a sharp increase is imminent. If signs of rising inflationary pressures force the market to reprice expectations for interest rate cuts next year, stocks could decline while the US dollar strengthens.John Luke Tyner, head of fixed income at Aptus Capital Advisors, noted in a report on October 24th that a significant portion (72%) of the US CPI is exceeding the Federal Reserves 2% inflation target. Services inflation continues to hover above target, with the risk of a delayed impact from tariffs. Inflation has been above the Feds target for over 50 months, and this trend is expected to remain through 2028. Under these circumstances, the Fed is unlikely to significantly cut interest rates.

Wednesday's trading session saw a little increase in the S&P 500 as we once again ran into resistance.

Technical Analysis of the S&P 500

As it seems that we are about to challenge a significant region of resistance, the S&P 500 has increased somewhat throughout the trading session on Wednesday. In the end, I believe that this market will face considerable pressure over time, and I do not believe that a meaningful breakthrough will occur until we break over the 4200 level. This appears highly unlikely to occur in the near future because Friday is when the employment report is due.


There is a lot of technical evidence to suggest that we could halt here, but keep in mind that the 200 Day EMA is situated just below the 4200 level. I believe we will go for the 4300 level above, which is another region of resistance, if we can break over 4200. If we break above that level, I believe the trend has fully shifted, and the S&P 500 soars as if nothing ever went wrong.


Much of this is predicated on the hypothesis that the Federal Reserve may need to change course soon as a result of the economy's performance. That, however, ignores the fact that inflation, although somewhat reducing, is still very high. Since it is without a doubt one of their top worries, it will naturally take center stage. It will be considerably worse if inflation starts to increase. While Wall Street tries to persuade itself that the Federal Reserve will shield it, the truth is that there may not be much of an option for the Federal Reserve other than to keep tightening moving ahead.
