Today's opening of the stock markets in the United States is proceeding in moderately cool moods. Investors, after yesterday's euphoria, are approaching trading with greater caution, analyzing both incoming company results and the macroeconomic situation in the face of the ongoing federal administration shutdown. Most indices at the opening remain around yesterday's closing levels. Contracts on US100 are falling by 0.20%.

The mining and financial sectors are performing best today. IT and broadly defined retailers are lagging behind.
Yesterday's session brought further historical highs on the main indices. The publication of the minutes from the last Federal Reserve meeting was interpreted by the market as confirmation of a dovish stance in monetary policy. Market participants interpreted the content of the protocol as a signal that the Fed intends to cut rates by 25 basis points at the next meeting.
The US government shutdown continues, and most key macroeconomic data is not being published. Fed Chairman Jerome Powell could not participate in the planned conference, depriving the market of important clues regarding the future path of monetary policy. The lack of communication from monetary authorities in a situation of limited access to data may increase investor uncertainty.
At the corporate level, quarterly reports from PepsiCo and Delta Air Lines are drawing attention. Both companies published results above expectations, providing valuable information about the condition of American consumers in conditions of limited macroeconomic transparency. Delta's report was particularly well-received after the company's CEO emphasized that the ongoing federal government shutdown does not affect the company's current operations, which supported the carrier's pre-session trading.

The price is currently very close to historical highs, which means, among other things, that the space for potential correction seems relatively large. Considering the ranges of previous corrections, a possible pullback could reach even the lower boundary of the growth channel (marked in red) and around 6700 points. However, for such a scenario to materialize, a clear break of the nearest local support in the region of 6750 points remains a key condition. An additional factor supporting the supply side is the relatively high level of the RSI indicator, which oscillates around 70 points, signaling market overbought and increasing risk of short-term pullback.
