Stocks: COTY, PINS, WDC Upgrades DG downgrade. - Overview: USA SPY 443.7 with support at 443 440 and resistance at 444 445 . SPY expected to move +/- 2.4. QQQ 370.5 with resistance of 372 and support at 370 369 365 . QQQ expected to move +/- 2.8. US$ and yields have moved lower with the European open, which is providing a small lift to equities and a larger lift to industrial metals and grains. FOMC meeting at 14ET is the big event with virtually zero expectation of a rate increase, and the unknown being the forward comments from Powell. Implied volatility is elevated ahead of the event, which can lead to a lift post meeting if Powell is deemed to be dovish; however, absence of serious hedging increases downside risk. Energy lower today is a positive for markets as it reduces inflation concerns for at least 24hrs. Small caps (IWM) and spec tech (ARKK) leading premarket, with all FAANGMT less AAPL leading premarket, providing a risk off tilt premarket. AAPL Iphone15 sales report not positive, providing some headwind to AAPL and iPhone supply chain.
