Good Morning!
The session on August 4, the main US stock markets ended in different directions. The S&P 500 fell only 0.08% to 4152 points, the Dow Jones fell 0.26% and the Nasdaq rose 0.41%. Seven of the 11 S&P 500 sectors closed higher. Energy companies became absolute outsiders: the sectoral index sank by 3.6% during the day.Company news
Beyond Meat (BYND: -7.81%) plans to cut up to 4% of its staff.
Black Rock Inc. (BLK: +0.79%) has selected Coinbase Global (COIN: +10.01%) as its institutional client service partner
Technical pictureThe S&P 500 is moving up in an uptrend and is likely to stay near the resistance line. The 20- and 50-day moving averages are located at around 3900 points and cannot give clear signals for a reversal due to the change in market sentiment to positive. Such fundamental factors as macro statistics, actions and plans of the Fed, as well as the results of corporate reporting determine the dynamics of the S&P 500 in the first place and serve as growth drivers for it. Given this, we do not expect a new bottom to be reached.
