Where does the S&P 500 stand?

Two quarters are in the dust for 2022 and we have watched the S&P 500 get beaten up for the last six months. The SPY is currently trading at $375.31, down 21.46% from the opening price of 2022 and up 3.4% from a recent new 2022 low on June 17th. SPY remains in a bear market, recording lower lows and even lower highs.

Reviewing the first half of 2022, we have observed rising inflation and continual rate hikes. As fear of economic recession has become a common talking point, the market continues to search for buyers. As more dollars chase fewer goods, it seems that we will not see a change in market behavior until the economic factors that cause increases in cost find equilibrium.

Remaining bearish so far in 2022 has been profitable. Each new market low has been met with buying pressure and each bear market rally is met with a larger number of sellers. Even though there appears to be attractive price levels for many popular market assets, overall selling pressure continues to outweigh buying pressure across the market.

    • The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has sued cryptocurrency platform Coinbase the second lawsuit in two days against a major crypto exchange.  Angeline Ong | Presenter, Analyst and Content Editor, London | Publication date: Wednesday 07 June 2023  IGTV’s Angeline Ong takes a look at the differences between the SEC’s crackdown on Binance and Coinbase, and why this could be a gamechanger for the crypto industry. (Video Transcript) SEC cracks down on cryptos The crypto crackdown is escalating as the SEC has issued a lawsuit against Coinbase, the second in two days against a major crypto exchange. Now on Monday, the SEC targeted Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange. The two cases are of a different nature though with the SEC accusing Binance and its CEO, Chang Ping Tao of operating a "web of deception", while with Coinbase, the regulator considers it is operating illegally because it failed to register as an exchange. Now, if successful, these lawsuits could trigger a major change in the crypto world, asserting the SEC's jurisdiction over it. So far, the industry's argument is that tokens do not constitute securities and should not be regulated by the SEC. Coinbase share price chart Just checking in on Coinbase, which is on all-session stock on IG. It fell almost 10% in the previous session.

    • Stocks in Asia managed to move higher overall, though weakness in Japan was the outlier. A poor performance from China's trade data raised hopes that some form of stimulus might eventually come to pass in the world's second-largest economy, as the slowdown intensifies. Markets remain relatively quiet overall, as the focus shifts to next week's clutch of central bank meetings. Yesterday's more hawkish RBA may give the Bank of Canada cover to raise rates once again, defying general expectations of a pause.
