In today’s market update, Stephen Whiteside from theuptrend.com noted that U.S. stock index futures were quiet ahead of a major week for traders. The focus is on Wednesday’s Federal Reserve announcement and Friday’s triple witching, both of which could spark volatility. Tesla remains a standout, continuing its sharp pre-market rally. Meanwhile, the VIX shows no significant fear in the market, keeping sentiment relatively calm.
Stephen also reviewed commodities and sector performance. U.S. energy ETFs remain weak, with natural gas and gasoline on sell signals, while Canadian energy stocks show mixed signals despite some new highs. Metals were stronger, with copper and gold holding buy signals, and several gold and silver miners hitting new highs. Overall, the market appears stable heading into Monday’s open, but traders should prepare for potential turbulence midweek.
