    Today, global stock markets are showing mixed dynamics. The main topic of discussion remains the draft stimulus package that Joe Biden will present this Thursday. The volume of the program will exceed $ 1 trillion and may reach $ 2-3 trillion. Hope for its adoption determines the relative stability of the broad market index. Further dynamics of investor sentiment will depend on the details of Biden’s plan. There is no doubt that the President-elect will try to make the program comprehensive in order to meet the expectations of the electorate. Large-scale stimulation of the economy was the main point of Biden’s election program. Nevertheless, investors’ expectations are already quite high. The S&P 500 is at historic highs. Talk of excessive investor optimism is increasingly broadcast in the business media.

    Today there will be speeches by several representatives of the FRS, who can clarify the plan for changing the parameters of the quantitative easing program. The Fed’s inflation and unemployment expectations are also receiving increased attention, as they have a direct impact on Treasury yields.

    Sentiment Index

    The Freedom Finance Sentiment Index climbed to 60 out of 100. The index reflects market participants’ hope for a global economic recovery in 2021. Worries about the negative impact of the coronavirus pandemic continue to decline thanks to the prospect of mass vaccinations.

    Technical picture

    Technically, the S&P 500 is showing a strong uptrend, but the risk of a correction is increasing. The broad market index tested the upper border of the equidistant channel in the 3825-3830 area yesterday, where it encountered strong resistance. The RSI indicator remains close to the overbought zone, which limits the upside potential from current levels. If a corrective movement develops, the first significant target will be the level of 3700 points.
