The Daily Breakdown looks at the current market environment as volatility remains in gold, stocks, and oil prices.<\/p>\n

What’s Happening?<\/b><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s one headline after another right now, and that\u2019s the kind of environment investors are navigating. While there is hope for peace in the Middle East, there is not yet enough conviction to believe it has truly arrived. That helps explain why we keep seeing contained, quick bounces of 0.5% to 1% in the S&P 500<\/a>, only for those gains to fade into pullbacks.<\/span><\/p>\n

That appears to be the case again today, with markets giving back some of yesterday\u2019s gains. Cryptocurrencies are also under pressure, while oil \u2014 <\/span>USO<\/span><\/a> \u2014 is up 4% this morning and gold \u2014 <\/span>GLD<\/span><\/a> \u2014 is down 2% to 3%.<\/span><\/p>\n

\ud83d\udc40 S&P 500 Spotlight<\/b><\/h4>\n

While the S&P 500 only rallied 0.5% on Wednesday, a clear theme was on display yesterday as pockets within tech enjoyed a big bounce: Super Micro Computer<\/a> climbed 8.2%, Hewlett Packard<\/a> jumped 7.9%, Advanced Micro Devices<\/a> rallied 7.3%, and Intel<\/a> gained 7.1%.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Setup \u2014 Cintas<\/b><\/h2>\n

Cintas<\/a> reported earnings yesterday, topping Wall Street\u2019s estimates on both earnings and revenue. The stock was volatile in response, trading as high as $186.05 and as low as $173.59. In the end, shares finished the session down less than 1%, but that still left CTAS below a key support level on the chart.<\/span><\/p>\n

For more than a year, CTAS has been rangebound, with support near $180 and resistance around $225. Its latest rally stalled near $210, and the stock pulled back into support by the end of last week. After earnings, however, shares are breaking below that floor. If downside pressure builds, the 200-week moving average could come into focus. On the upside, bulls want to see shares reclaim $180.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cintas has strung together 16 consecutive years of gains. For a refresh on the company, <\/span>check out our Deep Dive<\/span><\/a> from November.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Options<\/b><\/h4>\n

Investors who are bullish could consider calls or call spreads as one way to speculate on further upside, while bearish investors could consider puts or put spreads to speculate on a further move to the downside. For options traders, it may be advantageous to have adequate time until the option\u2019s expiration.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What Wall Street’s Watching<\/h2>\n

CCL<\/b><\/p>\n

Carnival Cruise<\/a> will be in focus tomorrow, with the company set to report earnings before the market opens. Cruise operators like Carnival, Royal Caribbean<\/a>, and c have been volatile lately, as swings in energy prices continue to influence sentiment around the group. Investors will be listening closely to Carnival\u2019s outlook and commentary on the current environment. <\/span>Dig into the fundamentals for CCL<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

IGV<\/b><\/p>\n

Software stocks have been back under pressure, with the IGV<\/a> ETF down more than 3% this week and trying to avoid its third straight weekly loss. So far, it\u2019s down almost 10% in that stretch. Top holdings include Palantir, Microsoft, Oracle and Salesforce. <\/span>Check out the chart for IGV<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n
