Good MorningEquity markets held steady on Monday following the prior week's sell-off. The S&P 500 rebounded by 0.45% at the session's high, showing support at the critical 30-day moving average. The 30-day moving average is a commonly used indicator of near-term market activity and a significant trigger point for traders when crossed. The S&P 500 has pulled back from a peak but remains in an uptrend and is likely to sustain support at this level. If not, the S&P 500 could enter a more profound correction as near-term traders pile into bearish bets.
Retail earnings will be the catalyst this week. Earnings reports are due from Walmart, Lowe's, Target, and TJX Companies and will reveal the state of the consumer. The reports are expected to be decent because of last month's strong retail sales figures. The question is whether trends are holding up and whether it'll be a robust holiday shopping season.
