US Stocks 

Fundamental Analysis: 

U.S. stocks ended slightly lower yesterday, with the S&P 500 and the Dow down by about 0.1%. However, all three major stock indices performed strong in August, a time traditionally regarded as a period of calm in the stock market. After all hitting record highs in the second half of August, the three major stock indices were under pressure from technology stocks on the last day of August. 

Before Tuesday, the S&P 500 index set a record closing high for four of the five trading days. The S&P 500 rose by 2.9% in August, the seventh consecutive month of growth, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Nasdaq rose by 1.2% and 4%, respectively. 

The performance reflects the level of investors’ confidence in US equities derived from the Federal Reserve’s continued dovish tone toward tapering its massive stimulus program.  

While a strong recovery in economic growth and corporate earnings has boosted US stocks, investors are concerned about rising coronavirus cases and the path of Fed policy. 

US consumer confidence fell to a six-month low in August, according to survey data from the Conference Board on Tuesday, 31 August 2021, offering a cautious note for the economic outlook. 

Technical Analysis:

(Dow30，1-hour chart) 

Execution Insight:

The Dow has formed a top head and shoulders pattern at its high yesterday, and the basic operating range is still maintained at 35308–35512. Therefore, pay attention to the direction of the Dow’s breakthrough in the range of 35308–35512. If it breaks through the 35512 line, it means that it advances through the neck line of the head and shoulders pattern, which will open up further upward trend for the Dow.  

On the top, focus on the suppression strength of the 35610 line. If it drops below the 35308 line, it might lead to a further stock pullback for the Dow. At that time, pay attention to the support of the 35226 and 35166 positions. Once it falls below the 35166 range, the head and shoulders pattern is destroyed and that the Dow will show deep pullbacks.
