Closing Market Commentary For 06-25-2013
Sort of a quiet day in reflection of a good financial reporting this morning as volume was very low most of the afternoon. One would have thought investors would revel in good news and send the numbers soaring. The averages did continue to melt upwards from the morning opening to where the DOW did close above 100 and the obvious gap on the SP500 was finally closed around 3:30 – all bullish.
By 4 pm the markets fell off their session highs a bit but appear to be set for tomorrow being another up session. Volume was lighter than usual during the final minutes and might signal another quiet day tomorrow if though it should be a positive one. Indecisiveness seems be the one key trait of investors as the guess on where Mr. Market is going to take them.
I believe we will see the averages climb back up to at least the closing numbers of last Wednesday before the 2 week of July. Just a guess and you know how I hate to guess.
The DOW at 4:00 is at 14760 up 100 or 0.69%.
The SP500 is at 1588 up 15 or 0.95%.
SPY is at 158.52 up 1.46 or 0.93%.
The $RUT is at 961.26 up 10.21 or 1.07%.
NASDAQ is at 3348 up 27 or 0.82%.
NASDAQ 100 is at 2866 up 18 or 0.64%.
The longer trend is up, the past months trend is bullish, the past 5 sessions have been bearish and the current bias is bullish.
