Fundamental Analysis of the S&P 500 Index

After rebounding from a fresh low of 4,162.90, the broad stock market index recovered 0.21 percent on Wednesday. The S&P 500 index dropped to its local lows of roughly 4,160 in March. 


Despite quarterly corporate profits disclosures, it continued to fall. There is still a lot of uncertainty about the Fed's tightening monetary policy, as well as the Ukraine crisis. 


Following the publication of Facebook's quarterly earnings report yesterday, the S&P 500 index is predicted to start 1.1 percent higher this morning. However, following significantly poorer than anticipated quarterly Advance GDP figures (-1.4 percent vs. estimates of +1.1 percent), the market retraced some of its overnight gains.

Conclusion

Following recent drops, the S&P 500 index varied on Wednesday. The market ended the day higher, although it remained below the 4,200 level. 


The key Advance GDP announcement today came in substantially lower than predicted. We could see a "sell the rumor, buy the news" scenario here. Investors will also be watching for AAPL and AMZN to deliver their quarterly earnings reports today.

The following is a breakdown:


Yesterday, the S&P 500 index stuck below 4,200; it may seem contradictory, but today's worse-than-expected Advance GDP announcement may cause an upward reversal.
