U.S. Indices Kickoff The Week In The Red
Today’s economic calendar is wide open, with no primary market movers scheduled until tomorrow's T-bill auctions.
Bond yields continue to dominate financial headlines as the second trading week of October gets underway. The U.S. indices are struggling, with both the DJIA and SP&500 in the red for the first hour of trade. The sentiment is moderately negative, with investors treading with caution early on.
Today’s economic calendar is wide open. No primary market movers are scheduled, but all eyes will be on tomorrow’s short-term T-bill auctions. Growing yields are becoming a concern for equities players ― will we see another spike in bond pricing tomorrow?
A Look At The U.S. Indices
Since last week’s fresh all-time highs, the DJIA has been struggling. Three consecutive negative sessions have brought several technical support areas into play.

Here are the levels to watch for the remainder of the session:
- Support(1): Bollinger MP, 26378
- Support(2): Daily SMA, 26315
Overview: At the moment, it looks like the Bollinger MP may prove to be valid downside support. Buyers have stepped in and defended the 26300 handle, driving prices north 100 ticks. It appears that pricing of the E-mini DOW is seeking a level near the 26500 area.
No primary market movers are scheduled until Thursday’s CPI report. The numbers are expected to increase over the previous release as strong economic conditions will drive inflation. Only time will tell, but it the FED is going to have a rock-solid case for raising rates, which may bring the equities bears out of hibernation.
