S&P futures are pointing lower by about 0.30%, but well off their lows of the night. The back and forth rhetoric between the U.S. and China involving the spread of COVID-19 is creating fear that trade relations could be harmed. Last night China imposed national-security laws on Hong Kong which could increase the negative rhetoric against China.
Crude oil also snapped over 6% lower after China said it wouldn’t set its GDP target for 2020. The country is the second largest consumer of oil, so if we are to assume that GDP is worse than expected, it doesn’t say a lot for oil demand.
S&P Futures Trading Levels
The S&P futures currently sit at 2928. Support overnight was found just above the 2900 level, but if we challenge the lows look for buyers 2894 and 2866.
To the upside look for 2948 and 2962 to create resistance.
The current environment is choppy, with a 2750-2950 trading range establishing itself.
