Stocks Slump Even After CPI

15 Sep 2021

Stocks have opened the week by continuing a steady decline. To an extent, this is to be expected, because September is typically a slow month in the stock market. However, the CPI miss yesterday should suggest that we are to see the Fed walk back statements about tapering, which should be good for our portfolios. Due to this, we expected more of a risk on day yesterday. But a series of downgrades sent us to lower prices. We are finding support at 4440, and there is a cluster of levels below, down to 4421. If we do catch a lift, there is a vacuum zone to 4487. The Kovach OBV is quite bearish, but may have bottomed out, suggesting that we might see some life in stocks this morning at open.
