Hey Trader,


Finding Strength in Faith


I hope this email finds you well and in good spirits. Today, I wanted to share a powerful verse from the Bible that I believe holds special relevance for retail traders like yourself:


2 Thessalonians 3:3 - "But the Lord is faithful. He will establish you and guard you against the evil one."


In the dynamic and often unpredictable world of trading, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by the challenges and uncertainties that come our way.


However, amidst the volatility and stress, it's essential to remember that we are not alone. We have a source of unwavering strength and protection in our faith.


This verse serves as a reminder that no matter what obstacles or adversities we may face in our trading journey, we can take refuge in the faithfulness of the Lord. He is our constant anchor, ready to establish us and shield us from the schemes of the enemy.


So, as you navigate the ups and downs of the market, I encourage you to hold fast to your faith. Trust in the Lord's promise to guide and protect you, knowing that He is always by your side.


May this verse inspire and uplift you as you continue to pursue your trading goals with courage and conviction. Wishing you blessings and success in all your life's endeavors!


Be Relentless In Pursuit Of The Will 

Which God Has Set Upon Your Heart,

Consumer Sentiment Plummets Amid Rising Inflation Concerns


In a stark divergence from the otherwise robust economic signals, consumer sentiment took a nosedive as inflation expectations surged, according to the latest findings from a highly anticipated survey released on Friday.


The University of Michigan Survey of Consumers sentiment index for May recorded an initial reading of 67.4 for the month, a significant drop from April's figure of 77.2 and well below the Dow Jones consensus forecast of 76. This marked a monthly decline of 12.7%, albeit with a year-over-year increase of 14.2%.


Accompanying the decline in sentiment, inflation expectations for both the one-year and five-year horizons saw an uptick.


The one-year inflation outlook soared to 3.5%, climbing 0.3 percentage points from the previous month to its highest level since November.


Similarly, the five-year outlook edged up to 3.1%, a modest increase of 0.1 percentage point but reversing a trend of declining readings observed over the past few months, also reaching its highest level since November.


“While consumers had been reserving judgment for the past few months, they now perceive negative developments on a number of dimensions,” noted Joanne Hsu, the survey’s director. “They expressed worries that inflation, unemployment, and interest rates may all be moving in an unfavorable direction in the year ahead.”


Other components of the survey witnessed notable declines as well: the current conditions index dropped to 68.8, declining by over 10 points, while the expectations measure fell to 66.5, down by 9.5 points. Both indices recorded monthly drops of more than 12%, though they showed year-over-year increases.



The report's release comes despite a strong stock market rally and a slight decrease in gasoline prices, though they remain elevated. Most indicators in the labor market continue to signal strength, although jobless claims hit their highest level since late August last week.


“Uncertainty about the inflation path could suppress consumer spending in the coming months. The Fed is walking a tightrope as they balance both mandates of price stability and growth,” remarked Jeffrey Roach, chief economist at LPL Financial. “Although it’s not our base case, we do see rising risks of stagflation, a concern the markets will have to deal with, in addition to the impacts from the presidential election.”


The inflation readings pose a significant challenge for policymakers, especially as the Federal Reserve weighs its near-term monetary policy decisions.


Market expectations suggest a strong anticipation that the Fed will commence reducing its key borrowing rate in September after maintaining it at its highest level in over two decades since July 2023. However, the outlook remains uncertain, despite Fed Chair Jerome Powell indicating that the central bank’s next move is unlikely to be a hike.


The next crucial data release on inflation is slated for Wednesday when the Labor Department publishes its consumer price index report for April. While most Wall Street economists anticipate a slight moderation in price pressures, the widely followed CPI index has consistently surpassed the Fed’s target, registering at 3.5% annually in March.


S&P 500 Chart Analysis

S&P 500 Retail Analysis for Monday: May 13, 2024


Let's break down some important numbers for you to keep an eye . . .


If we see the market falling towards 5235.00, there's a good chance of support being found and price could then rally towards 5333.00. Potentially continuing to rise from there if strong enough resistance isn't found over the next several weeks.


But if the market goes down and closes below 5220.00, it could mean that the selling pressure might be ramping up, and we might start seeing things get worse. Perhaps even see it go down to 5115.00 in the next several week, and maybe even beyond that.

CFTC RULE 4.41 Hypothetical or simulated performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.

IMPORTANT NOTICE! No representation is being made that the use of this strategy or any system or trading methodology will generate profits. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. There is substantial risk of loss associated with trading securities and options on equities. Only risk capital should be used to trade. Trading securities is not suitable for everyone.

Cryptocurrency Trading Cryptocurrencies on margin carries a high level of risk, and may not be suitable for everyone. Past performance is not indicative of future results. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before getting involved in Cryptocurrency trading you should carefully consider your personal venture objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial deposit and therefore you should not place funds that you cannot afford to lose.

Hypothetical Results Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain inherent limitations - unless noted otherwise that an image or any material discloses live money was used, results displayed or openly discussed are to be assumed simulated for educational purposes only. No live money brokerage accounts will be traded or displayed by request or otherwise.  Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, since the trades have not actually been executed, the results may have under- or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs, in general, are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown.

ONE OF THE LIMITATIONS OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS IS THAT THEY ARE GENERALLY PREPARED WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT. IN ADDITION, HYPOTHETICAL TRADING DOES NOT INVOLVE FINANCIAL RISK, AND NO HYPOTHETICAL TRADING RECORD CAN COMPLETELY ACCOUNT FOR THE IMPACT OF FINANCIAL RISK IN ACTUAL TRADING. FOR EXAMPLE, THE ABILITY TO WITHSTAND LOSSES OR TO ADHERE TO A PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM IN SPITE OF TRADING LOSSES ARE MATERIAL POINTS WHICH CAN ALSO ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER FACTORS RELATED TO MARKETS IN GENERAL OR TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ANY SPECIFIC TRADING PROGRAM WHICH CANNOT BE FULLY ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE PREPARATION OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND ALL OF WHICH CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS.
