Federal Reserve Statement: The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) unanimously elected Kevin Warsh as Chairman of the FOMC.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 Wall Street Journal, sources say the United States has suspended visa issuance to people who have visited Ebola-affected areas.

S&P 500 Technical Analysis

As we anticipate the jobs report, the S&P 500 has fluctuated throughout the trading session on Thursday. Having said that, the market is a little overbought at this moment, so I wouldn't be surprised if we saw a downturn. 


The 4500 level, of course, would be a focus for many traders, since it is a large, round, psychologically significant figure, as well as the place where the 50 Day EMA is racing towards.


The 200 Day EMA is slightly below the 4400 level, so it could provide some support as well.


Remember that because the US indices are market cap-weighted, they are not designed to fall for long periods of time, thus you must exercise extreme caution when attempting to short the market. On Friday, the employment report will cause a lot of volatility in the market, so you should be wary about taking any large positions.


When I look at this chart, I can't see anything other than a bit of an overstretched state, so a pullback could provide some value, which the market urgently needs right now. The market will continue to be extremely volatile, but I believe that we will finally move higher due to Wall Street's assumption that the Federal Reserve would bail them out. Whether or not that is the case is debatable, but it appears that Wall Street believes we will continue to rise in the long run.
