Good MorningThe S&P 500 fell for another week shedding more than 1.5% at the low of the day on Friday alone making this the 3rd consecutive week of declines. The S&P 500 is down more than 10% from the recent high and heading lower if the recent signals are to be believed. The next target for support for the S&P 500 is near the 3,650 level and it may not be strong enough to keep the market from setting a new low. A move below the 3,650 level would open the door to 3,525 and the potential for a bigger move down to 2,800.
The hurdle for the market this week will be the Fed's Beige Book on Wednesday. The Beige Book is not expected to give any insight into the psyche of the Fed but it will give a broad view of economic conditions. The takeaway is likely to be tight labor markets, tight supply chains, and rising inflation which will all underpin the outlook for FOMC policy tightening.
