Midday Market Commentary For 03-13-2013
By noon major averages were back in the green but flat as a pancake averaging around +0.05%. A brief burst of buying started at noon melting the indices up to the morning highs and are currently backing down, albeit slowly.
I can’t forecast direction because of the low volume and general lackluster activity. I do not expect any new highs to be made today in regard to the major averages, just not in the cards.
Flat is the keyword for the indices.
The DOW at 12:30 is at 14461 up 12 or 0.08%.

The $RUT is at 942.64 up 2.39 or 0.25%.
NASDAQ is at 3244 up 2 or 0.07%.
The longer trend is up, the past months trend is bullish, the past 5 sessions have been bullish and the current bias is up.
