S&P 500: The bulls are in control of the market for now after the S&P 500 closed above 4,115

 


The S&P 500 bounced off its trendline support and ran up 1.85% on Friday to close at 4,136.25 after Apple reported better-than-expected fiscal Q2 2023 earnings while the April total NFP employment came in at 253k, exceeding the 179k expectation. On a negative note, the February and March NFP numbers were revised down by 78k and 71k, respectively.

The bulls are in control of the market for now after the S&P 500 closed above the key technical resistance at 4,115 while the golden cross chart pattern, which emerged in early April, could provide additional market momentum. Keep an eye on the 4,200 level and April CPI & PPI readings next week.

WTI crude prices could fall further to retest a trendline support at ~ $6 4.30 a barrel if U.S. and China economic data remains soft.  It remains to be seen whether the one million barrels a day oil production cut by Saudi Arabia, starting in July, will have any impact on crude oil prices at this level.
