S&P rally continuesAt the start of last week, things didn’t look great for the bulls. There were several signs of weakness that could have easily led to a daily trend reversal. However, that didn’t materialize. Firstly, on Monday, buyers were able to set a daily higher low. Then, on Wednesday, they positioned the price very close to the previous two weeks' high. Finally, with the help of the FOMC, they broke through the resistance, set a new historical high, and held it into the week's closure. All these factors together confirm the strength of the bulls and position them well for rally continuation.
AMEX:SPY outlook for the next week is bullish. Pullbacks should be considered as buying opportunities. Short trades should be avoided unless you are a scalper.
Stay alert of economic data releases on Thursday (GDP) and Friday (Personal Income/Spendings and FED) that could cause some volatility.

Key Levels and US Market Review for the Asian session open 5/07US markets were closed for the 4th July holiday which saw muted trading across the European session. The RBA held off on another rate rise much to the relief of Australians who are feeling the squeeze. The RBA notes that a lot of the inflation can be attributed to corporate profit margins increasing so may be a reason why they are holding off on rates (as raising will no doubt see margins increase and inflation go up). With the FOMC minutes out tonight, it will be interesting to see if there is an indication of a similar scenario in the US which will will point to a pause in rate hikes also.
Expecting a mixed open to the Asian session with the ASX200 to open flat, the Nikkei to open slightly lower along with the Hang Seng.
Traders are focused on the end of the interest rate rising cycle in the US which also means a slowing economy bringing about mixed reactions from traders. The Ponzi scheme that is the US debt ceiling may start to be of more concern if GDP contracts and the global economy slows.

Key Levels and US Market Review for the Asian session open 17/05Major indexes in the US and Europe come under fire on concerns for a global economic slowdown and the US debt ceiling fiasco. Traders went risk off as retail sales pointed to a slowdown in consumer spending while uncertainty over interest rates also weighed on sentiment. I expect that the same theme will weigh on the share markets today and into the coming European and US sessions.
Expecting a weaker open on Asian markets with the ASX200 expected to open down 37 points while Hang Seng set to open down 30 points and the Nikkei to open slightly higher.
Coming economic data will remain the major focus as traders look to anticipate the end to interest rate rises. I feel that any end will only mean major economies are slowing which I do not expect will be good for the share market.
