$S&P 500 Index (.SPX.US)$ $Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ.US)$ The US Senate voted to increase the US debt limit by US$2.5 trillion to US$31.4 trillion, a move that will prevent the Treasury Department from defaulting on any debt in the coming weeks. The passage of the Senate cleared the way for the House of Representatives to vote on the legislation and send it to President Biden to sign it as a law.

$Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ.US)$ $S&P 500 Index (.SPX.US)$ The latest round of US inflation data has further cemented the likelihood that an increase in the rate of tapering will be announced after the FOMC meeting tomorrow, opening the door to an earlier rate hike. But how much of this expectation is already priced in?
The market seems to be almost certain of an extremely hawkish pivot, resulting in a decent amount of profit taking, particularly in tech. The NASDAQ is already down around 2% this week, trading near its 50-day EMA, as investors naturally expect growth stocks to suffer in this higher interest rate environment. However, if the Fed policy changes aren’t as aggressive as currently anticipated, buyers could see current prices as a good re-entry point.
Of course, monetary policy won’t influence the market in isolation. It needs to be looked at in the context of the central bank’s economic outlook for 2022. Should the Fed hold its current policy due to uncertainty surrounding Omicron's impact on the economy, we could see a fresh round of selling hit the market.
All trading carries risk, so it will be important to fully understand everything that is said tomorrow before making any decisions.

Retail investors bought in the broad market index- $SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY.US)$ and $Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ.US)$, pulled money out of $Lucid Group (LCID.US)$ for the third day.
Other than those ETFs, $Tesla (TSLA.US)$ is still the top buy for retail investors for a while. On the other side, Lucid, $Advanced Micro Devices (AMD.US)$, and $AMC Entertainment (AMC.US)$ had a negative sentiment level. It is the first time AMD had net money outflows, since retail investors were pouring money into it in the past 4 days.
Tracked by Nasdaq RTAT, the chart gives a daily view of retail activity and sentiment from the previous trading day.
*The ticker ranks: $USD traded by retail investors divided by total $USD traded by retail investors across all tickers.
*Sentiment level: it derived from the retail net flows (buy-sell) of the most recent 10 trading days. The more positive (negative) the number, the greater the proportion of recent retail net buying (selling).

2021 is a year of volatility. It has witnessed the rise of meme stocks, starting with $GameStop (GME.US)$ and WallStreeBets early in January and up to the moon $AMC Entertainment (AMC.US)$ in June. After the 2020 pandemic, S&P 500 rallied 100% within 354 trading days*. In times of chip shortage, investors are also watching the tech stocks closely. Not to mention dramas like what caused by Elon Musk and Donald Trump on $Tesla (TSLA.US)$ and $Digital World Acquisition Corp (DWAC.US)$ . What a year!
