S&P 500: The S&P 500 May Begin to Price in a 50-Basis Point Hike at the March 21-22 FOMC Meeting

 


The S&P 500 pulled back to retest the trendline support at 3,943.08 / its 600-day EMA on Friday, on concerns over inflation. The January core PCE, closely watched by the Fed, came in higher than expectations. Both the January CPI and PPI, released last week, were disappointing. The index was down for the third week in a row. Hence, it could bounce off from here or else pull back further to test the trendline supports at around 3,925.

From the Fed minutes, released on Wednesday, some FOMC members were pushing for a 50-basis point hike at the last FOMC meeting in January. According to the CME FedWatch Tool, the possibility of a 50-basis point hike at the March FOMC meeting is 27%, an 8.9% jump from a week ago.

TESLA INC. (NASDAQ:TSLA): A robotaxi war may be brewing in China

Image
Tesla cleared their first hurdles in China after the company received FSD approval from the Chinese government. Beware though, just days after Elon Musk confirmed Tesla's intent to unveil their robotaxi in August, one of China's largest ride-hailing companies, Didi Chuxing, announced a joint venture with Chinese EV maker GAC Aion to mass produce its own Level 4 robotaxi, per IOT World Today. Didi acquired Uber China in 2016 and has more than 80 million active users in China. The downtrend of Tesla stock remains intact. TSLA needs to break above the key resistance level at $182.33 soon, or else the stock could pull back to below its 50-day EMA.
