Moody’s, along with S&P Ratings, is a leading provider of credit ratings on fixed-income securities. The ratings segment, Moody’s Investors Service, includes corporates, structured finance, financial institutions, and public finance ratings. MIS represents a majority of the firm’s profit and about half the firm's revenue. The other segment, Moody’s Analytics, consists of decision solutions, research and insights, and data and information.

This is a big week for economic data (especially when assuming the data might support the belief that the Federal Reserve should cut the fed funds rate at the September 18 meeting). We have July PPI this morning; July CPI on Wednesday; July Retail Sales, Industrial Production, the Philly Fed, Empire State Manufacturing, and initial jobless claims on Thursday; and July Housing Starts and Consumer Sentiment on Friday. While the majority of S&P 500 companies have reported Q2 results, we have some big reports remaining, including AMAT, BABA, CSCO, DE, HD, and WMT. As expected, stocks did very little on Monday as market participants sat on their hands and waited for the news flow to dictate the next short-term direction of the market and interest rates. The small-caps did fall, with IWM down 0.9%, SML off 1.2%, and MDY down 0.6%. Information Technology rose 0.8% and Energy was up 0.5%, but Communication Services, Real Estate, Staples, Financial, Industrials, Discretionary, Healthcare, and Materials were all off from 0.4% to 0.7%. The three major indices all traced out doji candlesticks on Monday, a sign of indecision. They also all failed right at their flattening 13-day exponential averages. Some key short-term resistance levels for the S&P 500 include a 50% retracement of the recent decline at 5,395, the breakdown level at 5,400, the flat 50-day average at 5,449, and a 61.8% take-back at 5,460. For the Nasdaq, a 50% retracement sits at 17,190, which is also the breakdown level; the 50-day and a 61.8% take-back target 17,540. For the Nasdaq 100, a 50% retrace is at 463.50 and the 50-day and a 61.8% take-back are at 473. (Mark Arbeter, CMT)

Stocks are down sharply today, including all of the Magnificent 7 stocks. The first two Big Tech companies, Tesla and Alphabet, missed on earnings and that is shaking confidence across the board. The Nasdaq is faring the worst, down 2.5% at midday. Other Big Tech earnings are scattered with some coming next week. Chipotle and IBM report after-the-bell today.
