- The US30 index snapped a two-day advance yesterday as Boeing shares weakened further. US CPI data remained benign suggesting the Fed can remain comfortably on hold, which prevented a deeper rout.
- The 200-day moving average at 25,141 remains untouched, supporting prices since February 12. The February high of 26,238 will likely act as the next resistance point.
- US durable goods orders are seen falling 0.5% in January, the first decline in three months, according to the latest survey. After yesterday’s benign CPI print, February’s producer prices could also head the same way.
