📉 Sentiment on the US stock market has changed after disappointing US data publication.
Shortly after the publication of the Dallas Fed index for April (which we wrote about at 16:40), retreat in the main US indexes and European index contracts was observed. Today's reading of regional activity data from the US showed a decrease to -23.4 points, with expectations of a decrease to -12 points and the previous reading at 15.7 points, which was a clear underperformance. This may indicate that the US economy is close to a recession, which in turn could raise questions about further interest rate hikes by the Fed.
Despite a fairly good start to the session on Wall Street, the technology-heavy Nasdaq is currently performing the worst, down about 0.65% on the day. Other indexes are also trading in negative territory.

However, looking at the broader time frame, the US100 index remains in consolidation range between support at 12,900 points and resistance at 13,300 points. It seems that until we see a breakout in one direction, the base scenario is further consolidation at current levels. Nonetheless, a breakout up or down may be a pretext for a larger trend movement.
