U.S. stock futures are up this morning as Wall Street attempts to recover from yet another down week — and more in Monday’s stock market recap.
The two most important reports this week are the international trade in goods and services on Tuesday, which will tell us how supply chains are holding up with things like the Russia-Ukraine war… And then the Consumer Price Index report on Friday, which will help us see if inflation has peaked out or not.
If the results of these reports are positive, then it means traders, investors and, most importantly, consumers aren’t too worried about the current financial situation or interest rates going higher…
Speaking of interest rates, the iShares 20-Plus Year Treasury Bond ETF (Nasdaq: TLT) has been trading sideways for almost two months now.
If the bond market can’t move lower, then it means long-term rates also can’t go higher. So the fact that the TLT is consolidating and that volatility is also falling is a positive sign that things aren’t as bad as they seem.
In this morning’s stock market recap video, I’ll show you what is on the Federal Reserve’s agenda this week… why the bond market has remained choppy for almost two months… why small-cap stocks are trading higher… which sectors are prone for upside action and which ones aren’t… key resistance levels on the major indexes… and the best way to trade the current market cycle.

P.S. There are three “R words” right now… Russia, Recession and Rates.
All of them suck, which means now isn’t the time to mess around without a hedged trading strategy.
Can the markets bounce hard from these oversold levels? Of course!
Are you ready?
Can the markets dip another 10% because of the three looming R words? Of course.
Are you ready for that, too? The key is being able to capitalize no matter which direction the markets go…
That’s why Joy of the Trade Head Trader Jeff Zananiri just went live to reveal his top secret hedging techniques, including everything from the best stocks to buy during bear markets to how to leverage short positions to protect your gains when the markets fall.
P.P.S. When it comes to trading, every second counts. And in choppy markets like these, often driven by headlines, stocks can make big moves in a flash.
