- Core PCE slightly above expectations
- Apple and Amazon both posted solid quarterly results
- Intel stock tumbles on weak financial outlook
US indices launched today's session higher as upbeat outlooks from technology giants overshadowed weak inflation data. The core PCE Price Index jumped slightly above analysts’ estimates, which points out that inflation still has not reached its peak. Now market attention will focus on University of Michigan consumer sentiment data.
US100 is currently testing key resistance at 13000 pts, which is marked with upper limit of the local 1:1 structure and 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of the upward wave launched in March 2020. Should break higher occur, upward move may accelerate further. However if sellers manage to regain control, then another downward impulse towards support at 12000 pts may be launched.
