FOMC Preview
FOMC preview, US stock futures are enjoying a pre-Fed bounce this morning, despite the bounce in futures, news flows were actually bearish since yesterday’s close as both FDX and MU made cautious comments about slowing global growth in their respective earnings calls and both cut guidance for 2019, In the US today, there is one economic report due to be released: Existing Home Sales (E: 5.190M) and a “beat” would be well received after the string of soft housing data points of recent, but frankly all eyes will be on the Fed and the report will not materially move markets, and more.
Technical Update: Ugly Breaks
Technical Update: ugly breaks, S&P futures are bouncing this morning but only modestly so relative to yesterday’s sizeable declines in U.S. markets which weighed broadly on global shares overnight (although the losses were not as bad as feared), Oil is notably down almost 3% as concerns have shifted from the supply side to demand side in recent weeks, there is only one economic report to watch: Housing Starts (E: 1.22M) but if it is a “whiff” like yesterday’s Housing Market Index was, which hit a multi-year low, it could keep growth concerns elevated and prevent a material relief rally and more.
A New Headwind on Stocks
A new headwind on stocks (it’s potentially a big one), it’s not all bad – a legitimate positive scenario for Q1 ‘19, weekly market preview, weekly economic cheat sheet and more.
Political Risks to this Market

Dow Theory Just Turned Bearish
Dow Theory: first bearish signal since July 2015, futures are enjoying a bounce this morning, there is only one economic report: PPI (E: 0.0%) however inflation has been an important topic recently and a material “miss” or “beat” could move markets and more.
