The United States Trade Representative (USTR) welcomes the progress made by Switzerland; we are working to finalize a trade agreement with Switzerland.On June 30, the Swiss government issued a statement announcing that it had signed a joint statement with the United States last year aimed at stabilizing bilateral trade relations. As part of ongoing tariff negotiations with the US, the Federal Council recently released a statement of intent outlining how it will implement the specific commitments made in the previous joint statement. In addition to lowering import tariffs on some US goods following the signing of the statement, the Council plans to take further measures to implement the relevant agreements. These measures include simplified recognition of US standards in the areas of conformity assessment bodies, medical devices, passenger cars, and government procurement. The Council will implement these measures by revising regulatory rules. The implementation of these measures aligns with the objectives set forth in the joint statement and is consistent with the mandate for negotiations with the US. The Council also expects the US to fulfill its commitments in the same way. This announcement will further contribute to stabilizing bilateral economic relations between Switzerland and the United States and provide Swiss exporters with greater planning certainty.

As we swing back and forth between the Friday news, the S&P 500 has been trading a little sideways throughout the day.

Technical Analysis of the S&P 500

The S&P 500 fluctuated throughout the session on Thursday since we are barely below the 200 day moving average and, of course, we have to be concerned about the employment report on Friday.


Given that circumstance, I believe an explosive move is most likely only a matter of time. If everything remained the same, one may believe that this barrier should hold, but the S&P 500 might really take off if we were to break over the 4200 mark. Although that is not my worst-case situation, I must have it in the back of my mind when I trade this.


The 4100 level, in my opinion, is critical. A far deeper correction may be seen if we were to drop below that level. We drop another 100 points or so at that moment and start looking at the 50 Day EMA.


Unfortunately, whether or not the Federal Reserve will tighten monetary policy any more forcefully depends entirely on perception. While the Fed adamantly maintains its capacity to do so, the market does not believe it. It's highly likely that the stock markets will see a little decline if the American employment report on Friday is hotter than expected. Traders will view this as yet more justification for the Federal Reserve to closely monitor its monetary policy, perhaps leading it to tighten further. In any case, I believe we are a bit overdone in the near future, but always keep an eye out for the opposite side.
