Midday Market Commentary For 05-20-2013
The ‘Energizer Bunny Market’ keeps on going. The averages just have continued to melt up all morning setting new highs along the way. Only recently (12:06) has the push upward been sedated into a sideways market.
I continue to see more upside, particularly after the DOW and $SPX have broken up and out of the previous historical highs. The small caps need to approach their old highs before I will call a top. The only other thing that will derail this bull run is a significant Black Swan.
By 1:00 pm the markets took a breather with a bearish slant to it on low volume. The small caps are leading the way down and that is about where it stands.
I wouldn’t expect much today, but watch out for tomorrow.
The DOW at 1:00 is at 16365 up 11 or 0.06%.
The SP500 is at 1669 up 2 or 0.11%.
SPY is at 167.21 up 0.27 or 0.16%.
The $RUT is at 999.60 up 3.32 or 0.33%.
NASDAQ is at 3499 down 0.12 or -0.01%.
NASDAQ 100 is at 3022 down 6 or -0.22%.
The longer trend is up, the past months trend is bullish, the past 5 sessions have been bullish and the current bias is negative.
