The Dow Jones was up 0.53% to 33,203.93, the S&P500 rose 0.59% to 3,844.82, and the NASDAQ was up 0.21% to 10,497.86. At the same time, oil prices jumped.

Long-term view on market and 2023 outlook:

In general, investors are still concerned about the market outlook and the fears are increasing. The economic recession seems inevitable, as major monetary authorities are determined to continue to battle high inflation. In my view, monetary policy will turn accommodative as inflation trends down. Growth pressures still weigh on developed markets' equity in 1Q 2023, but a turn in monetary policy will provide liquidity support to asset prices. Consensus expects interest rates to peak around 5.0% in the middle of 2023, which indicates it is closer to the end of the hiking cycle. I remain cautious on U.S. equities into 1Q 2023, and I believe the market will be more positive as markets bottom out in 2Q 2023.

27th December trading analysis

S&P 500 daily chart:

This image is no longer relevant

The S&P 500 index finished higher in a turbulent pre-holiday session Friday, as an inflation report and a slew of other data did nothing to change views that the Federal Reserve would likely keep raising interest rates even if the economy slowed. From the daily chart, the price is hovering between $3,784 support level and $3,947 resistance level. It is crucial to continue to watch the price movement in these few days to see whether the bull traders will successfully break through the $3,947 resistance level and push it to the next support level at around $4,072, or the bear traders will pull the price to the $3,784 support line and continue fall to the $3,662 support line. Traders may find an opportunity to trade between $3,784 and $3,947 as the index already traded in this range for a few days. Nonetheless, given the Fed would likely continue to raise the interest rate and the index is still trading below its 10MA and 50MA lines, I suggest traders remain cautious.
