After a 5% correction in the S&P 500 during September, October rewarded bullish investors by bringing the index up a little over 6%. Last week alone saw a 1% increase and new all-time highs! With the markets ability to shake off disappointing earnings reports from Amazon and Apple and the VIX sitting at 17, near pre-pandemic levels, there is much to be hopeful for looking forward in the market.
Risks going forward are the continued inflation increases, but there are indications this may tied to recent supply chain issues across multiple sectors. Also hanging over the market is the Fed monetary policy and bond buy tapering that has been signaled by the Fed. While tapering is not set to begin until mid-2022, it is likely to be followed by a rate increase.
While there are risks on the horizon, we will continue to use our tried and true indicators to evaluate the market on a daily basis and find the most profitable trades for our subscribers to consider.
