We’d love for you to follow us. We’d love for you to help us build our following. Yeah. Looking at Treasury yields here today, we’re just continuing to hit new 52 week highs. Got some stronger than expected jobless claims data. Existing home sales, surprised to the upside. Saw a little bit of weakness in the Philly Fed manufacturing index. But despite the strength that we’re continuing to see, yields are just off of their highs.
We hit new 52 week highs and we’re coming down a little bit, seeing a little bit of relief in the bond market here. And stock indices are trying to enter positive territory. So we do have Fed Chair Powell speaking here today at 11 Central Standard Time. That’s about at this time right now, me making this video. So we’re going to get Fed Chair Powell.
We’re going to get other Fed members speaking so we could see some volatility in the markets right now, looking at the CME Fed watch tool, despite this strong economic data, still a 96% probability of a pause at the November Fed meeting. Again, probably just because yields in the bond market have done the Fed’s job for them, you’re continuing to see higher yields and maybe the Fed will not need to raise at all.
At least that’s what the market is currently pricing in that that there is a just about certainty that they’re not going to raise. So we’ll see what Fed Chair Powell says some of these other Fed members say today, looking at some of these support and resistance levels. S&P three star resistance is going to be 43, 62 and a quarter to 43, 65 and three quarters.
Nasdaq three star resistance is going to be 15 157 to 15, 173. A break and close below any of these levels think there’s a little bit more staying power, some more bullish momentum to the upside. Crude oil, three star resistance. There’s not a really big catalyst right now. So we’re going to want to see some fundamentals to move us higher.
Nasdaq three star resistance is going to be 15 157 to 15, 173. A break and close below any of these levels think there’s a little bit more staying power, some more bullish momentum to the upside. Crude oil, three star resistance. There’s not a really big catalyst right now. So we’re going to want to see some fundamentals to move us higher.
But 87, 44 to 87, 79, it’s going to be a three hour resistance level to keep an eye on. And gold major for star resistance is 1960, 1967 and a 10th to 1976 and 6/10.
