Midday Market Commentary For 07-15-2013
Markets have continued to melt from the morning lows and again the major averages have set new historical highs with the exception of the DOW.
By noon the volume was still falling with spurts of selling but mostly bullish action caused by the HFT algo computers. I would caution anyone to jump to any conclusions due to today’s actions.
Indicators are mostly mixed but one side shows a 60% buy and a 25% sell, yet I do not trust Mr. Market.
The DOW at 12:00 is at 15475 up 11 or 0.08%.
The SP500 is at 1682 up 2 or 0.13%.
SPY is at 168.16 up 0.64 or 0.39%.
The $RUT is at 1042 up 6 or 0.56%.
NASDAQ is at 3605 up 5 or 0.15%.
