  • Earnings reports from Arm Holdings, Monolithic Power and Harley-Davidson

Wall Street indices launched today's trading little changed. S&P 500 traded flat, while Dow Jones, Nasdaq and Russell 2000 gained around 0.1%. S&P 500 futures (US500) climbed above the 5,000 pts mark yesterday, but cash index did not manage to break above this barrier yet. However, this may happen today given that the cash index trades near 4,995 pts at session launch.

S&P 500 futures (US500) continue to trade above 5,000 pts mark. However, the upward move on the index slowed after reaching the 161.8% exterior retracement of the brief downward correction that took place at the turn of January and February 2024. Index trades in uncharted water and determining next potential resistance levels becomes increasingly difficult. Should bulls remain in control and the index continues to move higher, the first potential short-term resistance level can be found at 5,034 pts - the 161.8% exterior retracement of the February 2-5, 2024 pullback.
