• US indices launched today's cash trading in mixed moods
• US500 bounced off key support zone
• Tesla (TSLA.US) posted a record amount of deliveries from China

Major Wall Street indices launched today's mixed, however volatility may be lower  due to the Columbus day holiday. This week market attention will focus on the start of the earnings season, while key indicators including the CPI report, FOMC minutes and appearances from several Fed officials should provide further hints regarding rate hikes path.

On the other hand, he points out that many risks could derail Fed hopes for soft landing including the Ukraine war, slow supply improvement, Covid, and monetary policy either not fixing inflation or weighing more than expected on jobs. Also further escalation Russia-Ukraine tensions may quickly lead to deterioration of market sentiment.

However, the downward move was halted around support at 3630 pts and as long as price sits above it, another upward impulse may be launched. Source: xStation5
