SPGlobal sees robust €105 billion YTD covered bond sales while S&P Global stock under pressure
S&P Global slides 1.70% today

S&P Global reports that year-to-date benchmark European covered bond issuance has reached approximately €105 billion as of early June.

The issuance volume remains strong despite a slowdown in March triggered by the Middle East war. This represents a 16% increase compared with the same period last year.

Highlights

  • SPGI trades firmly below major moving averages, confirming sustained selling pressure and a bearish price structure across all timeframes.
  • Momentum indicators signal oversold conditions, with MACD, ADX, and RSI all pointing toward continued weakness and elevated downside risk.
  • Next week’s price range is projected between $405 and $420, with a further drop below $405 increasing the likelihood of a test near $395.

Persistent bearish bias as price remains below key averages and resistance

SPGI is trading well below its key moving averages, with the current price of $410.92 under both the SMA-20 at $419.65 and SMA-50 at $423.92, indicating firm short- and medium-term pressure from sellers. The SMA-200 stands at $468.87, reinforcing a bearish long-term structure, while the Ichimoku Kijun level at $418.69 now acts as immediate resistance. Near-term support is at the SMA-20 ($419.65), with key support at the SMA-50 ($423.92). Immediate resistance is the Ichimoku Kijun ($418.69), and key resistance is at the SMA-100 ($430.85).

Stretched downside momentum as weekly losses deepen and sellers dominate

Momentum on D1 is clearly negative, with the MACD and ADX both signaling a sell and indicating a weak and declining trend. RSI is below neutral at 44.47, while Stoch RSI and CCI both register oversold conditions, highlighting stretched bearishness. BBP is deeply negative and oversold at –2.96, showing sellers remain in control of intraday action. Weekly data confirms the bearish tone: SPGI has fallen $7.99 (1.91%) from the previous week’s close of $418.91 and is now at the very bottom of its weekly range, with volatility standing at 6.94%. In today's session, SPGI slipped another 1.70%, pushing it close to weekly support and capping a week of steady decline from the high.

High downside probability as signals favor continued range-bound decline

Looking ahead to the next week, the expected price range is $405 to $420, reflecting current volatility and anchoring below the midpoint between the 52-week low of $381.61 and high of $579.05. Given all W1 technical signals are on "Sell" or "Strong Sell"—with MACD, RSI, and ADX (W1) all pointing down—the probability of price decrease is very high (more than 80%), with upside potential limited. The baseline scenario is continued sideways movement within the $405–$420 zone. A bullish reversal would require a move above $420, targeting the $430–$440 cluster. A bearish breakdown below $405 could see a test toward the $395 area, edging closer to the year’s lows. Overall, downward momentum prevails and warrants caution on any bounce attempts for now.

Earlier, analysts noted that S&P Global was exhibiting persistent bearish momentum and that downside risks continued to dominate the outlook. This article confirms those views amid ongoing weakness, and traders should remain alert for any potential shifts in sentiment or unusual volume as early signals for a reversal.
