- Will The Fed Save The Day?
Market Summary
The broad market indexes were
dealt another blow last week as investors reacted to a worse-than-expected jobs
report and soaring oil prices. On Friday, the labour department reported that
the economy shed 63,000 jobs during February, which amounts to the worst drop
in five years. As you can see from the charts below, the bearish sentiment
pushed the major indexes to their lowest levels since 2006.
As we mentioned in our
previous reports, several of the major indexes have broken below the support of
interesting triangle
formations. Notice how the move below the trendlines signalled that the bulls
were losing control of the direction. Many bullish investors will now choose to
wait for the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision because this could be the
next major catalyst that will help send the markets higher.
