US stocks rallied Monday and regional stocks followed suit today after traders' inflation concerns were allayed by comments from FOMC members and China began to curb speculation in commodities. It opened higher and closed 1%, rising for the third of the four days.
Investors' risk appetite increased following the Chinese government's decision to threaten industry leaders with severe penalties for excessive speculation and misinformation in the commodity. the market convinced traders that any inflation resulting from a spike in commodity prices will dampen. Regulators in the Asian nation have put in place a five-year plan to keep prices in check.
Then federal officials put the spark back in the eyes of merchants by reiterating that current data is not indicative of the kind of inflation that would support an economic recovery. While Federal Reserve Governor Lael, Atlanta Fed President Raphael and St. Louis & # 39; s James each admit that as the economy reopens, rising demand will disrupt supply chains and likely increase prices in the coming months, they are believe that the current jump in inflation is transient as being held back will dampen demand and prices will rebalance.
The news sent Treasury yields lower for the fifth consecutive day, the largest drop on a weekly basis since September 2020. Yields had risen sharply as the rising inflation caused a sell-off in the stock. As inflation-related concerns subside, technical resources indicate that the balance between supply and demand is shifting towards buyers.
Price has completed a falling wedge, bullish after rising 10% in the 6 weeks between March 24 and May. 7. Sellers tried to push price, but when buyers refused to stay in line, they gave up, causing demand to push price beyond the supply-demand range.
This pattern indicates a pause and is therefore considered a follow-up pattern. That is, a successful completion with an upward breakout would indicate a resumption of the underlying upward trend.
Note that the wedge bottom, which was shaped like a hammer, provided a support exactly on the upward trend line as the 2020 bottom. It was joined by the 50 DMA. The Rate of Change (ROC) showed that momentum is supporting prices as it reversed.
