General Comments orValuable Insight
Spu's need a couple of close over 1875 to show me there is enough juice for more than another 2 day rally back to where the market weakened from 2 weeks ago.
Oil & Gas names led last week. They are in need of a breather.
I would not be in a big hurry to get heavily involved today. Let the market set up to decide direction.
As always attention should be paid to the Equity Indices/Bond spreads in Europe and the U.S. for clues to the next move.
Opening Range Time Frame Trading again today.
