SPX-FedEx would be scary...
Stocks fell on Friday as Wall Street ended one of its worst weeks in months. $Apple(AAPL)$ $Amazon.com(AMZN)$
Analysts say traders reacted to a nasty FedEx earnings warning about the global economy...
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 139.40 points, or 0.45%, to close at 30,822.42.
The S&P 500 lost 0.72% to end the week at 3,873.33. $S&P 500(.SPX)$
The Nasdaq Composite slipped 0.90% to end at 11,448.40. The worst week for the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq since June...$NASDAQ(.IXIC)$
$FedEx(FDX)$ shares plunged 21.4%, their worst daily decline on record, after the shipping company withdrew its full-year guidance and said it would implement cost-cutting initiatives to address weak global shipment volumes as the global economy "deteriorated significantly".
Note that transportation stocks are generally considered a leading indicator of the stock market as well as the economy.
FedEx pointed to weakness in Asia as a key reason for its negative outlook.
FedEx's announcement would rekindle fears shortly after a US inflation report on Tuesday.
FOMC would have investors' full attention...whether the Federal Reserve would be forced to cause a recession to cool prices...but that data would already be priced in...
But analysts say the summer comeback rally is looking more and more like a bear market bounce...
All this being said, let's take a purely technical look at the market:
The 3800-3850 area would be the support to watch with June levels below.
3900-3950 would be resistance.
- In a slightly more advanced context, we could say that from now on the market would be subject to the Marco, and could react mechanically...between bands between 3800-4100 until the end of the month...
