Stock market is expected to open higher tomorrow. This week is expected to be very volatile because of the Fed FOMC announcement on July 31st at 2 pm EST. FOMC policy meeting is expected to leave policy rates unchanged with the fed funds target at a range of zero to 0.25 percent. Attention will be focused on guidance and the characterization of the economy. Traders still worry about potential tapering of asset purchases this year. Outright commentary on asset purchases is a possibility. Also, comments on the economy likely will affect traders' views on probabilities of early tapering.
Any decision of tapering will lead to big sell off otherwise. But at the same time, S&P500 is now lagging behind US federal Total Reserve Assets which shows S&P500 fair value at 1734 as shown in the chart below.
S&P500 vs US Federal Reserve Total Asset shows S&P500 is lagging behind when compared to US federal Reserve Total Asset. |
I'll be watching EXPE, URRE, SOHU, INFA, EBAY, USU, AAPL. Also, watchout UVXY, VXX though i don't like this stock anymore.
