What is the outlook for the Dow Jones Industrial Average Index?
The outlook is positive but the price may first correct further to 43,600 in the most likely scenario. From there, the DJIA will continue its upward trend. Given the risky timing of buying, we will only take a position once the index closes above 45,200. The most likely scenario at that point gives a buy signal with target 48,000 and the stoploss at 43,600.
Below is the chart of the DJIA futures over the past 4 months with the most likely scenario plotted.
Important items on the economic agenda for the week of Dec. 16 through Dec. 20:
For the week ahead, we look forward to the US interest rate decision on Wednesday evening at 8 p.m.. A 0.25% cut is expected. On Friday at 2:30 p.m., core inflation figures from the U.S. may also start to cause movement.
