August 14th - According to foreign media reports, the Swedish government will review the national budget to ensure taxpayers money is not wasted. With only a month until the election and lagging in the polls, Prime Minister Christophe Kristonssons center-right coalition announced on Friday the formation of a committee to review the countrys operations. Led by Director-General Nordland, the committees task is to identify savings, recommend optimal use of funds, and propose revocable initiatives. An interim report is scheduled for submission next March, with a final report due in January 2028. During its term, the government, supported by the far-right Sweden Democrats in parliament, has been committed to improving the efficiency of public finances. The government stated that the readjustment of the national budget for 2026 will amount to as much as 50 billion kronor.According to South Korean media reports, SK Hynix significantly increased its investment in equipment and research and development (R&D) in the first half of this year. Cash expenditures for acquiring tangible assets exceeded 18 trillion won, an increase of over 70% year-on-year.The Ukrainian military stated that it hit the Ust-Luga complex in the Leningrad region of Russia.On August 14th, Shell lost a five-year legal battle with environmental activists over an oil exploration project in South Africa, a case that went all the way to the countrys Supreme Court. The Constitutional Court ruled on Friday that the oil giant cannot renew its exploration rights off South Africas rugged, wild Indian Ocean coast. This ruling comes as other offshore oil exploration in South Africa faces challenges, while neighboring Namibia is working to develop crude oil discoveries near its maritime border. The decision could further embolden activists who have won several lawsuits against oil exploration companies. The legal battle began in 2021 when activists objected to planned seismic surveys by Shell and its local partners in whale-infested areas.Bank of America upgraded Lenovos rating to "Buy" with a target price of HK$46.

S&P 500 Price Forecast – Stock Markets Continue to Worry About Rates

Technical Analysis of the S&P 500

The S&P 500 E-mini contract started overnight trading poorly and hasn't been making a lot of sense. Yet, the contract's high level of volatility persists, and as a result, downward pressure is beginning to build. It's important to note that the 200-Day EMA and the 50-Day EMA are located immediately below. Given that they are both rather flat, there may not actually be any momentum.


As it is slightly above the psychologically and structurally significant 4000 level, this may pave the way for a support level to develop in that approximate area. You must keep in mind that earnings season is now underway because it could cause the market to fluctuate. The moving averages and the psychologically significant 4000 level, if we were to break down below them, might drive the futures market and the index itself significantly lower.


It thus creates the chance of a decline down to the 3900 level, where we had experienced some buying pressure. Following that, there comes the 3800 level, which is considerably more significant and will get a lot of attention. When it comes to whether or not the market can save itself, we would be in that general area hanging on by a thread.


The previous two candlesticks have undoubtedly looked pretty bearish, and I think that may have some momentum built up in it. If the market were to flip around and bounce, then it may try to move towards the 4200 level. The minutes from the Federal Open Market Committee meeting, which are released on Wednesday, will undoubtedly also be relevant. This ought to provide traders a good indication of what the Federal Reserve members discussed during the meeting and whether or not there is an overall hawkish mindset or if there are any ice cracks appearing. This will have a significant impact on the market.
