Stock market rise
The stock market rally fell sharply at the open as St. Louis Fed President James Bullard and Kansas City Fed President Esther George made hawkish remarks. Major indices rebounded to close flat to slightly lower.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average was just below breakeven on Thursday Stock market trading. The S&P 500 fell 0.3%. The Nasdaq Composite fell 0.35%. Shares of the small-cap Russell 2000 company fell 0.9%.
Apple shares rose 1.3%. Microsoft shares returned two cents, and Google shares fell 0.5%. They all tested their 50-day streaks during the day. They are all below the 200-day lines with no obvious buy points. Tesla stock fell 2%, nearing the bottom of the November 9 bear market.
US crude oil prices fell 4.6% to $81.64 a barrel. In addition to the Fed’s hawkish rhetoric, he blamed Beijing’s renewed emphasis on “non-coronavirus” policies. China’s State Council has reportedly warned cities to avoid “irresponsible easing” of Covid-19 measures, just a week after that high-profile body backed easing rules. On Wednesday, Peking University closed on one case. Covid infections have increased over the past two weeks in China.
The hawkish Fed raises Treasury yields
The 10-year Treasury yield rose 8 basis points, to 3.77%.
St. Louis Fed Bullard said the federal funds rate, currently at 3.75%-4%, should probably rise to 7%, well above the consensus of around 5%. George of the Kansas City Fed said a recession may be necessary to bring down inflation.
One of the reasons policy makers look to hawks is to raise market prices and curb the stock market rally. If financial conditions cool down significantly to the hopes of the pivotal Fed, inflation could remain higher for longer, forcing the Fed to tighten policy rates further.

Stock market rally analysis
The stock market rally tested some key levels at the open on Thursday. The Nasdaq found support just above the 50-day moving average. The S&P 500 fell to short-term highs in October for a brief period. Russell 2000 rebounded from near the 21-day streak. S&P 400 MidCap held the 200-day streak.
It can be said that the market was about to decline after a strong wave and the S&P 500 approached the 200-day line. Meanwhile, the market rally found support on Thursday in important areas. So the past two days have been somewhat normal and constructive for the major indices – assuming they can hold Thursday’s lows and eventually move higher.
However, the market pulled back from Tuesday’s high to Thursday’s low, which led to a number of stocks breaking out or making early entries in the past two days. Many of those entries tested or failed completely. Some bounce back while others may. In some cases, previous purchase points are still valid, while others may need to set new handles or other entries. Still others may struggle for a long time.
A variety of stocks and sectors show interesting actions.
In all of these cases, a healthy market recovery will be key.
Apple, Microsoft and Google stocks are not market leaders and may not be for some time. But if they can avoid being late, that would be a huge help.

What are you doing now
The stock market rally showed encouraging action on Thursday. The general trend has been higher over the past several weeks. But it was a winding road for investors.
Anyone who bought shares after October 21st Follow-up day It will likely be underwater by early November. While the indices rose on November 10 on the back of the CPI report, the Nasdaq, S&P 500, and Russell 2000 have been steadily lower since then.
The stock market rally remains volatile, with sector turnover and large intraday swings complicating matters. Buying opportunities have often been the moment the market pulls the rug out from investors.
So keep exposure. Add exposure gradually – and be prepared to reduce exposure due to market conditions or individual stock selling rules.
