- US stocks hover near record highs
- Mixed PMI figures
- MicroStrategy (MSTR.US) stock rebounds after yesterday's sell-off
US indices were little changed on Wednesday, hovering near their record levels even despite mixed Markit PMI readings. Manufacturing PMI pointed to another record growth in factory activity while Services PMI disappointed. It seems that the Federal Reserve again managed to calm the markets. Yesterday Fed Chair Powell during his House testimony again reassured that price pressures will be transitory and the central bank will not raise borrowing costs too quickly.
US2000 – index bounced off the upward trendline and is currently testing local resistance around 2305 pts which is marked with 23.6 Fibonacci retracement of the recent upward wave and 50 SMA ( green line). Should a break higher occur, then another bullish impulse toward all-time high at 2350 pts may be launched. On the other hand, if sellers will manage to break below the aforementioned trendline, then support at 2248 pts may be at risk. Source: xStation5
