Markets rebound ahead of this years Jackson Hole economic symposium set to start on the 26^th of August 2021. All eyes will be focused on Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Powell’s remarks this Friday to see if he speaks about the Fed’s policy outlook or hints towards the pace of tapering.

Asian markets held up on Wednesday after the global equity market rebounded which saw the S&P 500 reach new all-time highs once again. U.S Treasuries saw little change with the U.S 10-year Treasury note trading around 1.29% with safe-havens like gold fell out of favour with investors.  

Here is what’s expected this week:

The Wall Street 30 Technical Analysis

The Wall Street 30 Index (WS30) rebounded nicely from last week’s market sell-off and found support at our 34671 levels of interest mentioned in our previous WS30 note. The price action pushed through our 35183-resistance level which is now the support level to watch as we approach the Jackson Hole economic symposium.

We are looking at two scenarios from here, one is a bounce off the 35183-support level which could see prices push higher to our possible long-term target price. Two, the support level does not hold due to perceived unfavourable comments from the Fed Chair and the price moves back lower to 34671.

• The WS30 price action is above the 35183-support level and will be watched closely for an opportunity in either direction.
• The 50-day SMA (blue line) should come into play as support in the short term.
• The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is above the halfway point and needs to push higher from here to support the long outlook.
