US Producer Prices Surpass Expectations in May as Energy Costs Rise

GOOGL shares fell 5.9% in the last 24 hours to $346.81, with the RSI entering oversold territory at 27.5. The MACD is below the signal line and in negative territory, while the price trades below both the 20-day ($360.55) and 50-day ($363.87) moving averages. News that U.S. producer prices exceeded expectations and rising energy costs have heightened inflation concerns, potentially weakening expectations for interest rate cuts. This puts pressure on technology stocks, and while GOOGL may attempt a short-term recovery, the risk of a continued downtrend remains high.

The S&P 500 (SPX) is trading below its 20- and 50-day moving averages, with the RSI approaching oversold territory at 33. The MACD line remains below the signal line and in negative territory, indicating weak short-term momentum. Headlines suggest persistent inflationary pressures, which could dampen expectations for interest rate cuts. A 1.6% decline over the past 24 hours confirms ongoing selling pressure. However, the RSI nearing oversold levels raises the possibility of a short-term bounce.

NDX is trading below its 20- and 50-day moving averages, with the RSI at 38 in weak territory. The MACD line is below the signal line and in negative territory, indicating short-term downward momentum. News points to persistent inflationary pressures that could weaken expectations for interest rate cuts. This may put pressure on technology stocks and sustain the index's downward trend. However, the RSI approaching oversold territory also raises the possibility of a short-term bounce.

US Producer Prices exceeded expectations, indicating persistent inflationary pressures, which could support the DXY in the short term. Technical indicators also support this view: the RSI at 67.5 is approaching overbought territory but still signals strong upward momentum. The MACD line is above the signal line and in positive territory, suggesting the uptrend continues. The price is trading above both the 20-day and 50-day moving averages, confirming a short-term upward trend. However, the bullish outlook is expressed with moderate confidence due to the RSI nearing overbought levels and the risk of profit-taking following a 0.3% rise in the last 24 hours.
