Following a significant drop in the S&P 500 index yesterday, market participants are keeping a close eye on the major U.S. index’s movements to gauge if the downtrend will continue or if recovery is on the horizon. Amidst global economic uncertainties and market challenges, Friday’s trading session showed a mixed performance with a slight increase in the index. However, this upward trend was overshadowed by Monday’s decline that saw the S&P 500 falling by 1.85%. Multiple stocks within the index, including the popular big-cap tech stocks such as Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon, suffered losses following the mixed economic reports and concerns regarding inflation and the potential aggressive interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve. Despite these challenges, the SP 500 future contracts indicate a slight recovery, suggesting that market participants are now focusing on assessing the upcoming agenda, including the upcoming U.S. GDP report and Fed speakers’ remarks on monetary policy decisions. Looking forward, it will be essential to monitor how market participants’ responses to key economic events and reports will shape the future direction of the S&P 500 and other major indexes.
