At the midpoint of the day, benchmark equities in the United States are trading higher, bolstered by data indicating that core inflation grew somewhat less than predicted in March. Following the news, the 10-year Treasury yield fell from a three-year high, as traders speculated that the core reading might indicate inflation is nearing a peak.
June E-mini S&P 500 Index futures are trading 4439.00 at 15:16 GMT, up 30.00 or +0.68 percent. The S&P 500 Trust ETF (SPY) is now trading at $444.28, up $4.36 or 0.99%.
The Labor Department reported on Tuesday that consumer prices grew 1.2 percent month over month and 8.5 percent yearly in March. Traders, on the other hand, were focused on the core reading, which eliminates food and energy costs. Core CPI rose 0.3 percent in March, falling short of Dow Jones' consensus analyst prediction of 0.5 percent. On a yearly basis, core prices increased by 6.5 percent.
Microsoft's stock is up 1.6 percent. Nvidia was up 3.7 percent, Qualcomm was up 2.2 percent, Broadcom was up 2.4 percent, and Tesla was up 3.9 percent.
According to the daily swing chart, the major trend is down. The intraday price movement, on the other hand, implies that momentum is changing to the upward.
The restart of the uptrend will be signaled by a trade through the intraday low of 4382.25. The major trend will turn to up if the price breaks through 4588.75.
The primary retracement zone between 4447.25 to 4530.50 serves as resistance on the upward. A small pivot at 4506.75 is located inside this zone.
The short-term retracement zone from 4362.50 to 4299.25 provides support on the downside.
Trader response to 4409.00 is expected to decide the direction of the June E-mini S&P 500 Index into Tuesday's closing.
The presence of buyers will be shown by a prolonged advance over 4409.00. Overtaking the primary 50% mark at 4447.25 will signal that the purchasing is becoming more powerful. This might lead to a late-session rally through the 4506.75 to 4530.50 resistance cluster.
The presence of selling will be signaled by a persistent move below 4409.00. Look for a probable retest of the intraday low at 4382.25, followed by the short-term retracement zone of 4362.50 to 4299.25, if this creates enough negative momentum.
