Today's In-Depth Analysis of Global Markets Must-Read

There is a huge amount of market information today, but the core can be summarized into three main themes

Geopolitics Inflation Expectations Economic Data

These three lines together determine the operating logic of U.S. stocks tonight

I. Geopolitics Rising Uncertainty but Still in a Game Stage

Information on the Middle East situation is very dense today, with clear contradictory signals emerging

On one hand
The U.S. and Iran are rumored to have agreed in principle to extend the ceasefire

But on the other hand
Iranian officials explicitly denied it
U.S. officials also said they have not formally agreed yet

At the same time
Trump again sent strong signals
Even mentioned the possibility of quickly striking Iranian infrastructure

The key market interpretation is here

It's not easing
Nor is it a full-scale escalation

But rather

A stage of parallel negotiation and deterrence

Core Impact

Rising uncertainty
Risk premium will not disappear quickly

II. Energy and Inflation Key Variables Are Forming

Fed officials clearly stated

Energy prices are the biggest variable right now

If oil prices rise and remain high

It will bring two results

First Push up inflation
Second Drag down economic growth

This is a typical stagflation risk signal

But the key point now is

Oil prices are not out of control

So the market has not entered panic mode for now

III. Macro Data Slightly Positive for Short-Term Market Support

U.S. data today was overall positive

Import Price Index

Year-on-year 2.1, far below expectations
Month-on-month 0.8, below expectations

Indicates imported inflation pressure is decreasing

New York Fed Manufacturing Index

11, significantly better than expected

Indicates the economy still has resilience

Core Market Interpretation

Inflation has not worsened
The economy has not collapsed

This is an important reason supporting the U.S. stock rebound

IV. Corporate and Industry Level

Bank stock earnings reports were overall strong

Morgan Stanley and Bank of America both exceeded expectations in profits and trading revenue

Indicates market liquidity remains
High trading activity

At the same time

Alibaba Cloud raised prices for large model services

Indicates rising computing power costs
AI industry chain prosperity still exists

V. What is the Market Trading? Core

The market is not trading on good news today

But is trading

The absence of worse news under uncertainty

Specific manifestations

Short covering
Tech stock recovery
Risk sentiment warming

VI. S&P 500 Key Levels Core

Current market structure

High-level volatility plus event-driven

Central position

6750

Upper resistance structure

First target level
7000

Short-term strong resistance zone
6880 to 6980

Stage and mid-term core resistance level
7000

Need to emphasize

7000 is still a very strong resistance level

Belongs to psychological barrier and structural resonance pressure

In the current environment

It's difficult to break through effectively in one go

Once the impact fails

It is very easy to trigger a mid-term pullback from this area

Lower support structure

Short-term support level
6950

Short-term key support
6715

This week's core support
6665

Short-to-mid-term target support
6615

Mid-term important support
6550

VII. Rhythm and Time Window

Short-term rhythm

High probability of retesting 6715

This week's overall rhythm

Volatile and weak
High probability of a small bearish candlestick

Easily prone to directional choices or increased volatility

VIII. Today's Stocks to Watch

TSLA
NVDA
AVGO
snow

Let me say this here, if SPY cannot break 7000, it will likely start to pull back in the short term. You can pay attention to buying puts here and follow the trend down.

IX. Risk Warning Important

If the market appears

To open low, go high, and close with a bullish candlestick

Need to be vigilant

It might be a false bullish candlestick structure

Easily followed by accelerated decline

X. Mid-term Projection Core Conclusion

The current market has already entered

The late stage of high-level volatility

In the next two weeks

Retesting 6615 is a high probability event

XI. Summarize in one sentence

The current market

Is not a rising trend
Nor is it a falling trend

But a high-level volatile market under geopolitical risks and macro games

Operation Core

Don't chase highs
Only trade the range
Focus on the rhythm around the 6750 central level

Focus on the strong resistance at 7000 above
Watch the short-term support at 6950 and the support zone from 6715 to 6665 below

Once 7000 cannot be broken

A mid-term pullback trend may start at any time
