Google could push index levels higher

The indexes had a relatively flat session yesterday with the exception of the Nasdaq 100. It posted a gain of nearly 1 percent, while the S&P 500 and the Russell 2000 finished with small losses.

Levels have not changed for either the RUT or the SPX today, given the relative inaction. The Nasdaq 100's levels also remain as they were, but it did manage to nudge up closer to resistance yesterday. Moving average levels have been updated for all the indexes.

With the strong earnings news from Google after yesterday's close, we could see further upside today. The Nasdaq 100 is now back to the midpoint of its range from January to July of this year.

Nasdaq 100 (NDX)
First support is at is at 2291.64, its 200-day moving average. Support below is at 2256.70 and then at 2227.38. First resistance is at 2337.70, the pivot high from September. On a break above that pivot, next resistance is at 2373.82.

S&P 500 (SPX)
Support is at 1172.02, its 50-day moving average. On a break below the 50-day, support is at 1162.04, its 10-day moving average, then at 1136.43. Resistance is at 1220.39, then at 1230.71, the range peak of the last three months. A break above that level would snap the range, leaving next resistance at 1249.05, which was the previous range low from the start of the year.

Russell 2000 (RUT)
Support is at 683.76, its 50-day moving average, then 675.74, and 666.01. Resistance is at 701.55, then 711.27, and 718.63.

Market-moving data on full calendar

The economic calendar is full with several important reports ranging from retail sales to consumer sentiment that could help set the tone for today's trading.

Retail Sales will come out at 8:30 a.m. ET. There are two components to the report, one that includes auto sales and one that excludes them.

The consensus estimate for the so-called headline number, which includes autos, calls for a rise of 0.7 percent. Estimates for the headline number range from a bearish 0.1 percent to a very bullish 1.6 percent.

Without autos, most economists expect sales to rise just 0.3 percent. Estimates range from no change, which would be bearish, to a bullish 1 percent.

Import and Export Prices will also be released at 8:30 a.m. ET. The consensus sees import prices falling by -0.3 percent, which would be dis-inflationary. Estimates range from a more deflationary -2 percent to a moderate gain of 0.4 percent at the high.

Export prices are seen rising by 0.2 percent, with estimates ranging from flat to a gain of 0.4 percent. Generally speaking, it is better for U.S. businesses to see a reduction in import prices and a rise in export prices as long as the two are not seriously out of alignment with one another.

The mid-month reading for the Reuters/University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment number comes in at 9:55 a.m. ET. Consensus calls for sentiment to rise to 60.2, up from the reading of 59.4 earlier in the month. The low end of the forecast range is a bearish drop to 57, while the upper end of the range is looking for a bullish gain to 64.

Business Inventories at 10 a.m. ET will be the last important report of the day. Inventories are seen rising by 0.4 percent, with estimates ranging from 0.1 percent to 0.8 percent.

Inventory numbers that keep pace with sales figures are the most desirable outcome. Rising inventories with falling sales can point to a future glut, which is bad for the general economy.

ZH -There is good and bad news in today's economic data release: on one hand retail sales in September beat expectations at 1.1%, on expectations of 0.7%, and up from an upward revised 0.3% in August. Retail sales less autos was a modest beat at 0.6% on expectations of 0.3%, although the previous number was revised substantially higher from 0.1% to 0.5%. Yet confirming that the bulk of the "beat" was in auto and associated gas sales, was that Retail Sales ex Autos and Gas (duh) came at 0.5% on expectations of 0.4%. Basically, surging subprime loans to autopurchasers and the resulting increase in gasoline sales was the reason for this "surprise" beat. And as for the bad news, import prices jumped to 0.3% in September, on expectations of -0.4%, a surge from August's revised -0.2%. And while fuel imports had dropped in August -1.4%, in September these jumped to a positive 0.1%, showing just how big the monthly sensitivity to any moves in the energy complex are. In other words, should inflation persist, don't expect for retail sales, which we expect to decline to recent deleveraging at the consumer level, to persist.

Expect nothing but good, comforting, positive news to come out of G-20 this weekend also, which will lead to another gap up Monday...JMHO. What, they're going to come out and tell everyone how much worse things are than they thought? Not a chance.
