Now, with its two partners embroiled in war, the Baghdad government is facing increasing pressure from the United States. Washington is demanding that Iraq distance itself from Iran and restrain Iraqi militias with Iranian ties, which have been behind recent attacks against U.S. interests in Iraq. Two Iraqi officials revealed on Monday that, in order to force Iraq to choose, the United States has suspended cooperation with and funding to Iraqi security forces. The U.S. State Department declined to comment specifically on the move but said Washington has asked the Iraqi government to crack down on Iranian-backed militias, including some linked to Baghdad government officials. State Department Deputy Spokesperson Pigott said in a statement: "The United States will not tolerate attacks on U.S. interests and expects the Iraqi government to take immediate and all necessary measures to disband the Iranian-backed militias within Iraq."Federal Reserve Governor Waller: Greater flexibility is needed to capture efficiencies and manage risks, such as cybersecurity, and to integrate artificial intelligence into our system processes.Federal Reserve Governor Waller: There is no reason to reduce the number of Reserve Banks or change their geographical distribution.

Stock Markets Take a Break Ahead of Non-Farm Payroll

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.
