On May 17, at the request of the Guizhou Provincial Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters, the State Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters Office, together with the National Food and Strategic Reserves Administration, allocated more than 3,000 pieces of central flood control and drought relief materials, including woven bags, laminated woven fabrics, long-filament geotextiles, and drainage equipment, to support Guizhou in its flood control and disaster relief efforts.On May 17th, TsLombard stated that an aggressive tightening cycle is unlikely. Faced with the oil price shock, the extent of policy tightening by global central banks is likely to be quite limited. In Europe, the energy shock is already dragging down economic activity. The UK labor market has been volatile for some time, and hiring sentiment in Europe is becoming increasingly weak. In our view, the tightening力度 of the ECB and the Bank of England this year will be less than the market expects, and this possibility is currently underestimated. In the US, the likelihood of the Federal Reserve implementing policy tightening in the short term is small, and even if it does, it is almost certain to be before 2027.The UAE Ministry of Defense stated that a drone struck a generator outside the Barakah nuclear power plant.On May 17, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government announced the activation of the alert level under the "Ebola Virus Preparedness and Response Plan" to protect public health. The Centre for Health Protection of the Hong Kong Department of Health stated that it has proactively sought further information from the WHO, the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and the health authorities of Uganda.On May 17, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said that on May 16, the IDF killed a commander of the Hamas operations headquarters.

As we swing back and forth between the Friday news, the S&P 500 has been trading a little sideways throughout the day.

Technical Analysis of the S&P 500

The S&P 500 fluctuated throughout the session on Thursday since we are barely below the 200 day moving average and, of course, we have to be concerned about the employment report on Friday.


Given that circumstance, I believe an explosive move is most likely only a matter of time. If everything remained the same, one may believe that this barrier should hold, but the S&P 500 might really take off if we were to break over the 4200 mark. Although that is not my worst-case situation, I must have it in the back of my mind when I trade this.


The 4100 level, in my opinion, is critical. A far deeper correction may be seen if we were to drop below that level. We drop another 100 points or so at that moment and start looking at the 50 Day EMA.


Unfortunately, whether or not the Federal Reserve will tighten monetary policy any more forcefully depends entirely on perception. While the Fed adamantly maintains its capacity to do so, the market does not believe it. It's highly likely that the stock markets will see a little decline if the American employment report on Friday is hotter than expected. Traders will view this as yet more justification for the Federal Reserve to closely monitor its monetary policy, perhaps leading it to tighten further. In any case, I believe we are a bit overdone in the near future, but always keep an eye out for the opposite side.
