On March 13, 2026, Wang Yi, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Foreign Minister, held a telephone conversation with Afghan Foreign Minister Mutaqi at the latters request. Wang Yi stated that the more turbulent the external environment, the more regional countries should strengthen unity and cooperation to overcome difficulties and forge a path of cooperative and shared security. Afghanistan and Pakistan are inseparable brothers and neighbors that cannot be moved. Issues between the two countries can only be resolved through dialogue and consultation. Force will only complicate the situation, exacerbate conflicts, and benefit neither side, while also threatening regional peace and stability.

S&P 500 Price Forecast – Stock Markets Continue to Struggle

Technical Analysis of the S&P 500

Due to the ongoing pessimism, the S&P 500 has decreased somewhat during Thursday's trading session. At this time, it seems as if the market is prepared to go further, maybe attempting to approach the most recent lows at the 3637 level. In the end, this market should continue to see a lot of agitated behavior. I believe that fading rallies will remain a significant problem. The 50 Day EMA is now hanging in the general vicinity of the 3950 level, which serves as the ceiling at this time.


Ultimately, your indication to become engaged will be when you start to feel exhausted after brief rallies. Given the lack of global growth and the fact that inflation is still a problem, I do believe the downward trend will continue. Additionally, the Federal Reserve is rapidly tightening monetary policy, and as a result, a 100 basis point interest rate rise is being predicted. Due to the fact that the S&P 500 contains so many significant exporters, it is extremely probable that we will continue to see significant problems with the global economy.


In the end, a running season is approaching, so there could be some "hopium" waiting to happen, but after hearing J.P. Morgan declare, "We have never seen an economic scenario like this," during its results presentation, I don't think this earnings season will be cause for celebration. After a rally, I will suppress any indications of tiredness.
