ECB Governing Council member Winsch: The ECB will need to take action at some point to control the indirect effects of the energy crisis.The UKs Motor Manufacturers and Trade Association (SMTRA) reported that Teslas new car sales in the UK rose 20% year-on-year in March, reaching 8,599 units.The final reading of the Eurozone Composite PMI for March was 50.7, below the expected 50.5 and the previous reading of 50.5.The Eurozones final March services PMI was 50.2, below the expected 50.1 and the previous reading of 50.1.April 7th - Surveys show that German demand weakened due to the Middle East wars, causing a sudden loss of momentum in service sector business activity in March. The final S&P Global German Services PMI for March fell to 50.9 from 53.5 in February, the lowest level since September last year, slightly below the preliminary reading of 51.2. Phil Smith, Vice President of Market Intelligence at S&P Global, attributed the economic slowdown to rising gasoline prices and increased uncertainty. He added that despite significant cost increases, service providers failed to pass on higher price increases to customers due to weak demand. Smith stated, "The decline in new business inflows for the first time since September last year clearly demonstrates the direct impact of the Middle East wars on demand, while the significant drop in business expectations highlights the dampening effect of rising energy prices, supply chain disruptions, and generally high uncertainty on growth over the next year." Business expectations fell to a three-month low of 53.4 in March, below the long-term average of 56.7. The final Composite PMI also fell to 51.9 in March from 53.2 in February, a three-month low, entirely due to the slump in the service sector.

S&P 500 Price Forecasts – Stock Markets Bounce to Kickoff Week

S&P 500 Technical Analysis

The S&P 500 rallied significantly during the trading session on Monday in the E-mini contract to show signs of life again. Remember, we are in the midst of earnings season so we may see a lot of volatility on top of all of the other concerns that have been around due to the global economy seemingly ready to fall apart. At this point, the biggest game in town is going to be deciding what the Federal Reserve is going to do, so pay close attention to any speech coming out of those people, but at this point the perception is that perhaps we are going to see some relief.


I would not hold my breath for this, and even though this is a nice bounce, when you look at the chart, you can see clearly that we are still very much in a downtrend, and I think that will continue to be the case going forward. The 50-Day EMA currently sits at the 3844 level and is dropping significantly to give us a potential soft ceiling.


This of course assumes that we can get anywhere near there, something that I don’t think you can necessarily count on. Ultimately, this is a market that will continue to be more of a “fade the rally” type of market as there’s no real reason to believe that suddenly risk appetite is going to shoot through the ceiling. Having said that, it’s also worth noting that the rallies occur in a bear market can be quite convincing and vicious. At this point, I’ll be looking for signs of exhaustion to start shorting yet again.
