Closing Market Commentary For 09-28-2012
Markets closed just about where they opened. Low volume was the mainstay and the algo computers ruled the action. I wish I could say something positive or negative about the market direction, but can’t. No one is trading so expect the markets to continue to be low volume, narrow trading ranges, lackluster and no direction to speak of.
The closing numbers are not very inspiring and until the Israeli’s bomb Iran there is going to be much market movement.
The RRR** was very narrow all day and any trades will probably end up on the unprofitable side as long as this market has low volume and remains flat. Swing trading is at your own risk and being the market is at a crossroads of sorts, I would prefer to sit on my hands rather than risk guessing incorrectly.
The DOW at 4:00 is at 13437 down 48.84 or -0.36%.
The 500 is at 1440 down 6.48 or -0.45%.
The $RUT is at 837.45 down 6.09 or -0.72%.
SPY is at 144.03 down 0.61 or -0.42%.
The longer trend is up, the past week’s trend is bearish and the current bias is up.
