ECB President Christine Lagarde: I am confident that the practice of basing policy on data should be maintained.European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde: We have not seen artificial intelligence causing redundancy in the labor market.European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde: We are monitoring exchange rates, not setting exchange rate targets.On February 26th, European Central Bank (ECB) President Christine Lagarde reiterated that the ECB has successfully controlled consumer prices, but cautioned that policymakers must closely monitor perceived high inflation. She stated, "Officials will achieve the 2% growth target in the medium term. However, despite the decline in inflation, surveys show that many people still feel prices are rising faster than official data suggests." While ECB policymakers emphasized that their next interest rate adjustment will have "full flexibility," they have not indicated any intention to make any adjustments in the near term. They expect inflation to stabilize at the 2% target level in the medium term, with economic growth accelerating. However, some believe there is a possibility of inflation remaining below target for an extended period. According to the latest consumer expectations survey, perceived inflation is higher than actual data suggests. This could negatively impact private consumption and lead to higher wage demands, making the central banks task of maintaining price stability and promoting economic growth even more challenging.Gold prices fell slightly in early trading on February 26, but remained above $5,100 an ounce as investors focused on progress in US-Iran negotiations. New York gold futures edged lower as investors worried that US interest rates might remain unchanged for some time, limiting gains. However, prices still rose more than 3.5% this week, benefiting from uncertainty surrounding US trade policy and ongoing geopolitical tensions with Iran. "Any escalation of tensions involving Iran could provide further support for gold and strengthen its role as a hedge against shocks," said analysts at ING. "Meanwhile, the structural drivers behind golds previous gains remain solid."

Technical Analysis of the S&P 500 

The S&P 500 has fallen quite a bit in the futures market during the trading session, as it appears as though risk appetite will continue to be quite negative. Naturally, this has a negative impact on the S&P 500 futures market, and it appears as though we are about to test the bottom of the most recent selloff. At this moment, the market is also preparing to create the "death cross," which occurs when the 50 Day EMA falls below the 200 Day EMA. While I am not entirely in favor of this signal, I know that it is an area that many people will focus on, and hence may become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

 

The 4100 level beneath has acted as a temporary support barrier, but I believe it is about to be tested again at this time. It's worth noting that during the previous trading session, we formed a massive hammer, implying that there is some support just below. If we were to breach all of that support, the market would descend into a freefall. This would almost likely attract the attention of the majority of people, and perhaps even spark a bit of panic.

 

At that point, the market would very certainly sell off precipitously. To even begin to seem healthy and like it may be an uptrending market, or simply one with a chance of recovery in general, the market would need to break above the 4400 level. At this time, it appears as though we are in grave danger.
