On August 29, according to Irans Fars News Agency, Iranian Army Commander-in-Chief Amir Hatami stated that despite attempts by the "enemy" to destroy Irans drone and missile capabilities, Iran is continuing to launch its stockpiled weapons at "maximum intensity until the very last moment." He added, "According to military logic, the attacker and aggressor are only considered victorious when they achieve their objectives; but in a defensive war, the failure of the enemy to achieve their objectives means that the defender has won."On August 29, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Grossi issued a statement saying that the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant has been without external power for over a week and is currently relying on emergency diesel generators to maintain the power needed for nuclear safety and security. The agency warned that if external power or diesel supplies cannot be restored in the near future, the plant may face a complete power outage in about 10 days. The Zaporizhia plant reported on August 29 that its current diesel reserves are sufficient to sustain operations for about 10 days, meeting minimum regulatory requirements. The IAEA stated that the plants last diesel fuel supply was in March of this year, and the subsequent supply, originally scheduled for May, was postponed due to frequent local military activity.On August 29, the Belgorod Oblast Operations Command reported that the city of Shebekino in the oblast was shelled and attacked by Ukrainian forces. Shells landed in a private residential area, killing three people. Seven others sustained shrapnel injuries, and one was injured by the shockwave. The city also recorded damage from three drones: one exploded after hitting the road, one exploded inside a house, and one caused a fire in an abandoned garage. Ukraine has not yet responded to the incident.On August 29th, local time, continuous gunfire and explosions were reported in several areas of Niamey, the capital of Niger, starting in the early hours of the morning. Sources stated that militants attacked Diori Hamani International Airport and attempted to breach the security perimeter around the presidential palace. Local residents reported intense gun battles and explosions near the Niamey 101 Air Force Base, which is closely connected to Diori Hamani International Airport. Diori Hamani Airport was attacked twice this year by extremist groups and militants in January and June. Bana Ougana Ibrahim, a member of parliament from the Sahel National Union and a member of the National Transitional Council of Niger, stated on social media that the attackers targeted the 101 Air Force Base, but Nigerien security forces have brought the situation under control. The Nigerien government and military have not yet confirmed these reports.On August 29, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced on Saturday that Russian forces had struck a transshipment point at the port of Mykolaiv, Ukraine. The Ministry stated that the berthing area for refueling ships and the unloading point for fuel and lubricants were also targeted.

S&P 500 Price Forecast – Stock Markets Running Out of Momentum

Technical Analysis of the S&P 500

During the trading session on Thursday, the S&P 500 E-mini contract fluctuated back and forth as it seemed that momentum was beginning to wane. As we ended up producing a significant shooting star during the previous session, the market is now expected to continue to receive a lot of inquiries regarding the probable direction of the stock market. It's probable that we will keep moving down and that the long-term downtrend will continue if we break back down below the 50-Day EMA. I would anticipate losing 3800 at that time and moving on to the 3600 level.


On the other hand, it's possible that the upside will be challenged further into the 4000 level if we were to break above the top of the shooting star from the Wednesday session.


However, I do believe that this is a situation where you should be looking for shorting opportunities as the Federal Reserve will have to continue tightening monetary policy. Of course, there is also the possibility that the market could receive a shock next week as the Federal Reserve returns to the scene with its monetary policy statement and of course the press conference that follows.


Wall Street continues to believe that the Federal Reserve will save it, despite the fact that the Fed has repeatedly said that it wants lower stock prices and to reduce demand.
