- US stocks opened lower
- FOMC minutes at 7:00 pm BST
- Rivian (RIVN.US) expects to reach this year’s production target
US indices launched today’s session lower, extending yesterday's losses following recent hawkish rhetoric from Lael Brainard and other high-ranking Federal Reserve officials. The Dow Jones fell 250 points at the opening bell, while the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq 100 dropped 0.8% and 1.3% amid rising concerns that inflation and higher interest rates could push the economy into a recession, with the gap between 2-year and 10-year bond yields widening further. In the evening investors’ attention will focus on Fed meeting minutes. Powell hinted that more details on balance sheet reduction discussions will be included in minutes so release will be closely watched.
US100 pulled back sharply after buyers failed to break above major resistance at 15000 pts, which coincides with 200 SMA (red line). If current sentiment prevails, then support at 14375 pts may be at risk. Should break lower occur, downward correction may deepen towards support at 13540 pts Source: xStation5
