South Koreas upcoming local elections entered their 100-day countdown on February 22, with political parties intensifying their preparations to garner voter support. This election is considered the first major test since President Lee Jae-myung took office, and the success of his ruling Democratic Party is a key focus of international attention. South Koreas local elections are held every four years, electing leaders of provincial, special city, metropolitan city, city, county, and district governments, as well as education supervisors, education councilors, and local councilors at various levels of local autonomy. The new local elections are scheduled for June 3, coinciding with by-elections for members of the National Assembly.

The European Parliaments International Trade Committee was originally scheduled to meet on the 24th to vote on legislative proposals to advance the ratification of the trade agreement.A spokesperson for the Ministry of Commerce stated: We have noted the ruling of the U.S. Supreme Court in the tariff lawsuit and are conducting a comprehensive assessment of its content and impact. China has consistently opposed all forms of unilateral tariff increases and has repeatedly emphasized that there are no winners in a trade war, and protectionism leads nowhere. The U.S.s unilateral measures, such as reciprocal tariffs and fentanyl tariffs, violate both international trade rules and U.S. domestic law, and are not in the interests of any party. Facts have repeatedly proven that cooperation between China and the U.S. benefits both sides, while confrontation harms both. China urges the U.S. to cancel its unilateral tariffs on its trading partners. We have also noted that the U.S. is preparing alternative measures, such as trade investigations, in an attempt to maintain tariffs on its trading partners. China will closely monitor this and firmly safeguard its interests.Nasdaq futures extended their losses to 1%, S&P 500 futures are currently down 0.75%, and Dow futures are down 0.6%.Goldman Sachs: Potential easing of sanctions on Iran/Russia will accelerate the increase in crude oil inventories and release more supply in the long term, with crude oil prices expected to have a downside of 5% to 8% in the fourth quarter of 2026.

S&P 500 Price Forecast – Stock Markets Continue to Consolidate

Technical Analysis of the S&P 500

The S&P 500 had some bumpy trading on Wednesday as there were still many uncertainties surrounding the state of the world economy. The minutes from the FOMC meeting will be released later today, and Friday will see the release of the employment report. Having said that, I believe it's only a matter of time until we have to make a greater choice, so by the end of the week, I believe we will have much more clarity on our course of action.


Despite Wall Street's seeming lack of concern most of the time, the economy does not sustain a robust stock market. They will be more surprised to learn that the Federal Reserve is likely to maintain its strict monetary policy, which will keep the S&P 500 under pressure as Wall Street looks for cheap money since many of the bigger companies are leveraged to very aggressive levels.


They're going to have big problems as long as that continues to be the case. Additionally, this year is going to see a number of credit occurrences, which is poison to stocks. In the meantime, though, we could see rallies, but I believe the 50-Day EMA above around the 3900 level may provide substantial resistance. A move above there makes it possible to seek the 4000 level, but I believe that at that point, opposition becomes much more aggressive.
