Closing Market Commentary For 05-30-2013
Markets for the most part held their afternoon highs with a inconsequential sell off towards the end. The SP500 closed its gap but the DOW didn’t and that is important. I expect tomorrow to be an up day because of that small technicality. The markets are still weak and not one I care to bet on, up or down. Indicators tell me that we still have more up to go, but also appears it is going to be tough sledding.
Tomorrow is another day, but watch out.
The DOW at 4:00 is at 15324 up 24 or 0.14%.
The SP500 is at 1654 up 6 or 0.37%.
SPY is at 165.88 up 0.65 or 0.39%.
The $RUT is at 994.43 up 7.47 or 0.76%.
NASDAQ is at 3491 up 24 or 0.69%.
NASDAQ 100 is at 3012 up 17 or 0.57%.
The longer trend is up, the past months trend is bullish, the past 5 sessions have been mixed and the current bias is negative.
