On May 23, U.S. Director of National Intelligence Tulcie Gabbard announced on social media on May 22 that she had submitted her resignation to President Trump that day to care for her husband, who is battling cancer. U.S. media reports indicate that Gabbard was effectively "forced out" by the White House. In her resignation letter, Gabbard stated that her husband had recently been diagnosed with "an extremely rare form of bone cancer," and her resignation would take effect on June 30. Trump announced on social media that day that Deputy Director of National Intelligence Aaron Lucas would serve as acting Director of National Intelligence. According to multiple U.S. media reports, Gabbard had been marginalized within the White Houses national security decision-making system, and in recent months, Trump had expressed considerable dissatisfaction with her and considered replacements. Gabbard has long opposed U.S. government military intervention abroad and disagreed with Trump on the Iranian nuclear issue. After the U.S. and Israel launched a large-scale military operation against Iran in late February, she testified before Congress that Iran had not attempted to rebuild its nuclear program and refused to confirm that Iran posed an imminent threat as the U.S. claimed.According to the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), in the week ending May 19, crude oil speculators increased their net long positions in WTI crude oil by 15,017 contracts, reaching 110,348 contracts.Hang Seng Index futures closed down 0.49% at 25,430 points in overnight trading, a discount of 176 points.The U.S. Treasury Department reported that foreign investors purchased $5.629 billion in 3-year Treasury securities in the latest bi-weekly reporting period, down from $6.834 billion in the previous month; $6.230 billion in 10-year Treasury securities, up from $5.789 billion in the previous month; and $2.767 billion in 30-year bonds, up from $2.313 billion in the previous month.The U.S. Treasury Department reported that investment funds purchased $29.332 billion in 10-year Treasury securities in the latest bi-weekly reporting period, up from $28.103 billion in the previous month; $18.340 billion in 30-year bonds, up from $16.415 billion in the previous month; and $41.636 billion in 3-year Treasury securities, down from $42.810 billion in the previous month.

S&P 500 Pulls Back From Session Highs As Apple Tests Weekly Lows

Apple drives the S&P 500 to weekly lows

As the unemployment rate jumped from 3.5% in September to 3.7% in October, the S&P 500 gained support at the start of today's trading session. Traders were eager to wager that the Fed would become less hawkish as the unemployment rate rose. S&P 500, however, immediately lost impetus and went in the direction of the 3725 level support.


While the sell-off was still going on, Apple dropped below the $135 mark. The S&P 500 recently came under significant pressure due to the sharp decline in Apple stock. Tesla meanwhile drew nearer to its yearly lows.


PayPal experienced a 5% decline following the release of subpar fourth quarter guidance. The company anticipates that lower consumer spending will have an impact on its earnings, which is negative for the stock.


Ahead of the weekend, basic commodities equities have significant support, while tech companies are generally trending lower. Commodity markets are rising today on expectations that China may ease its zero-COVID policy. Freeport-McMoRan, the largest copper producer, increased 10% as copper prices rose above $3.60. As gold prices rose above the $1670 mark, gold producer Newmont Corporation saw a 7% increase.


The S&P 500 was under a lot of pressure this week despite gains in energy and basic commodities companies due to the sharp sell-off in tech shares. If the top technology stocks continue to decline, the market as a whole will not be able to recover.

Strong Resistance Awaited S&P 500 Near The 50 EMA

The S&P 500 keeps trying to close below the 3725 support level. The S&P 500 will go toward support at 3690 if it is able to settle below this point. The S&P 500 will be pushed toward the support at 3650 if the support at 3690 is successfully tested. If the S&P 500 falls below this mark, it will move in the direction of the next support at 3625.


To the upside, the S&P 500 must continue to trade above the level of 3725 in order to have a chance of gaining upward momentum soon. The S&P 500's subsequent resistance level is at 3760. The next resistance at 3805 can be tested if the test of the resistance at 3760 is successful. Since the 50 EMA is close by, the S&P 500 will probably encounter significant resistance between 3805 and 3815.
