• The SPX erased all of Wednesdays gains, retreating to 4,380.
• Thomas Barkin and Susan Collins sounded hawkish at the start of the Jackson Hole Symposium.
• All eyes are now on Fridays speech by Jerome Powell.
On Thursday, the US stock market saw losses driven by a stronger USD, boosted amid hawkish remarks by Federal Reserve (Fed) officials at the Jackson Hole Symposium.
Thomas Barkin stated that the Fed will keep rates where they are for the rest of 2023 and push rate cuts to 2024. In addition, Susan Collins commented that “more rate hikes are possible” which made markets place bets on a more aggressive Fed. In line with that, US yield rose, making stocks lose interest. The 2-year rate rose to 5%, while the 5 and 10-year rates increased to 4.44% and 4.23%, respectively.
Eventually, it will come down to the next set of data that the Fed will receive, including an additional jobs report and inflation reading. Powells words on Wednesday will also be closely watched for investors to model their expectations.
SPX Levels to watch
The daily chart suggests that the SPX displays a neutral to bearish outlook. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) points south in negative territory, while the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) prints red bars. However, the index remains above the 100 and 200-day Simple Moving Averages (SMAs), indicating that the bull retains control of the bigger picture.
Support Levels to watch: 4,350, 4,330, 4,310 (100-day SMA).
Resistance Levels to watch: 4,400, 4,460 (20-day SMA), 4,480.

Rupee Ends 13 Paise Up at 95.15 After RBI Holds Repo at 5.25%: The Effect of a Weak USD, Cooler Oil
The Indian rupee settled at 95.15 against the US dollar on 5 August 2026, gaining 13 paise after the Reserve Bank of India's Monetary Policy Committee voted 6-0 to keep the repo rate unchanged at 5.25 percent for the third time in a row in FY27. The rupee had opened 46 paise higher, rallied to an intraday strongest of 94.89 ahead of the policy decision, and then drifted back as RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra noted that the currency 'has not appreciated as intended despite the high flows from foreign shores.' A weak dollar index, a sharp pullback in Brent crude from above USD 100 in July, and net FII equity inflows of Rs 2,447 crore on Tuesday combined to support the rupee. USD-INR is expected to trade in a 94.80-95.50 band in the near term.
