Consumer data

Outlook 10/27: U.S. stock futures rise Friday, as the tech-heavy index try to recover some of this week’s steep losses. Amazon also gave a boost to tech-related shares on the back of strong quarterly results. Inflation accelerated in September but consumer spending was even stronger than expected, according to a Commerce Department report Friday. The core personal consumption expenditures price index, which the Federal Reserve uses as a key measure of inflation, increased 0.3% for the month, in line with the forecast and above the 0.1% level for August. Markets mostly shrugged off the report, with futures pointing slightly higher and Treasury yields mixed across the curve.

/ESZ23 (Dec 2023): YVAH 4201 YPOC 4180 YVAL 4165 GAP 4166.25

/ES Plan: Yesterday market closed balanced, but overnight, after PCE, looks slight bullish, moving within previous value, so these're the opening and initial balance options for today:

A) If market moves above HVE 4174 with bullish internals, buy towards ONH-HVE 4185 YVAH-HVE 4201 YHOD 4205 and GAP 4215.

B) If market moves below HVE 4174 with bearish internals, sell towards YVAL-HVE 4165 ONL 4160 YLOD-HVE 4145 and GAP 4130.

Note: It's Friday and traders who have made losses that week will likely take large risks to try and end the week with a profit. Try to be calm and focus on the market rather than thinking about your account.
