S&P 500 (SPY) Dives To 3850 As FedEx Report Highlights Recession Risks

S&P 500 Continues to Face Serious Pressure Just before the weekend

Following a poor FedEx fiscal Q1 report, the S&P 500 index climbed around the 3850 mark. Analyst expectations were not met by the report. Additionally, on June 23, 2022, FedEx retracted their profitability prediction for the fiscal year 2023.

The macroeconomic instability in Asia and the service issues in Europe, according to FedEx, "had a notably negative effect on performance, resulting in a revenue shortfall in this area of roughly $500 million compared to company estimates."

The price of FedEx shares has dropped by 22% during today's trade. The shares of United Parcel Service is also seeing significant pressure.

The FedEx report increased concerns about a worldwide economic downturn. It is hardly unexpected that today's consumer cyclical equities are declining. International Paper Company and Packaging Corporation of America both had greater than 11% declines.

Other major losses in today's trade include Boeing, which is down 4%, and General Electric, which is down 5%.

In the meanwhile, Treasury rates continue to rise as traders remain uneasy before the Fed meeting. Higher rates are detrimental to the declining tech stocks. Meta was able to plummet below the $150 mark and is now testing annual lows around the $146 mark. Today's drop in Amazon stock is 3%.

Tests Support At 3950 for S&P 500

S&P 500 is now testing the next support level at 3850 after successfully settling below the support at 3885. The S&P 500 will go toward the next support level, which is at 3825, if this test is successful. S&P 500 will be pushed toward the support at 3800 if a move below 3825 occurs. S&P 500 will go toward the next support at 3780 if it drops below this level.

The prior support level at 3885 will act as the first resistance level for the S&P 500 on the upswing. The S&P 500 will go toward the resistance of 3900 if it is able to stabilize again above 3885. The S&P 500 will be pushed toward the next resistance level at 3920 if the resistance at 3900 can be successfully tested.
