Record breaking down days in the beginning of month?

Yes AZL lost 2 pips to finish at 7c. Our volume was average, just over 12m shares traded. Followed the decline of ASX Li into us as well.

ASX U stocks surprisingly made a slight gain today. Of the 25 stocks that I track, average gain was 1.5%.

Overnight US U stocks were slightly weak. Average decline was just under 1%. U Future price lost another 15c to finish at $48.15 - don't know what's happening there

What next:
.
Yesterday US markets had a 5th straight day of decline and lost around 0.2%. So the first 5 days of this month are all declines. Its only couple of other times (2002, 2011) in last 25 years that in any month we have started with 5 straight day of declines, so it has been a rarity - 2022 is writing history in many ways. ASX had a decent decline of around 0.75%.

Nothing has changed from an analysis perspective, so everything I wrote yesterday stands, hence will not repeat it. We are getting some sideways movement now on lower volume, no decisive blow from bulls or bears at this stage. Indicators are mixed and no clear direction there. On downside we need to hold 3900 on SP 500 (currently 3933), next is 3810. Upside, regain 200 day moving average, which is coming down and somewhere around 4030 or so.

So what will happen tonight? US Futures slightly in red. Asian markets mixed. The next big economic data is on Friday - PPI data. But tonight some jobs data. Probability didn't help yesterday but after 5 red days, chances of green has increased. Not sure what will happen, difficult to predict. Most analysts are bearish, but in short term many believe there is a good chance of a bounce. Will that happen? Lets hope so. All the best.
