·         The S&P 500 initially fell during trading on Wednesday but found enough support near the 2850 level to turn around and rally rather significantly. This market continues to consolidate and look for buyers on dips, as we most certainly have a bullish attitude.

S&P 500 traders continue to pick this market up off of the floor every time it falls, and of course Wednesday wasn’t any different. We fell to the 2850 level before finding and of value hunters come back in and rally towards the 2860 level by the time the Europeans went home. Because of this, the market looks likely to continue to be one that you can buy on dips, for short-term moves. I see a significant amount of support at the 2850 level now, as well as 2800.

·         European stocks fell Thursday morning amid a deepening U.S.-China trade dispute and a flurry of corporate earnings.

The pan-European Stoxx 600 was off by 0.3 percent with almost every sector in the red. Oil and gas stocks were among the worst performers in early deals, amid growing geopolitical tensions. Basic resources were also down on concerns over an escalation in trade wars.

Shanghai blue chips climbed 2.7 percent amid talk of possible government support for home-grown technology companies, just the latest in a series of growth boosting measures rolled out by Beijing as the trade dispute worsens.

The gains in Chinese stocks helped MSCI’s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan reverse early losses to nudge up 0.5 percent.

·         Japan’s Nikkei edged lower on Thursday in choppy trade as a strong yen hurt investor risk appetite, while the auto sector saw a sell-off on news that some automakers improperly conducted vehicle inspections in the domestic market.

The Nikkei share average dropped 0.2 percent to 22,598.39.

·         Chinese stocks rebounded across the board on Thursday as investors snapped up healthcare and property shares battered by a recent selloff, while tech firms rallied on hopes of more government support.

The Shanghai Composite index ended 1.9 percent higher, while China’s blue-chip CSI300 index closed up 2.5 percent, recouping Wednesday’s losses.
