  • Nasdaq – Currently at 5,779
  • S&P VIX – staying between 12.15 and 10.37 
  • Russel 2000  – Currently at 1386 


Commodities:

  • Silver – 17.259 – though still mostly neutral, if gold breaks out watch for silver to follow 
  • Gold  – 1265 – gold is pushing up since the market closed last night triying to break above 1265 resistance.
  • Natural Gas – 3.266 – though natural gas spikes some days, it has remained within a trading channel essentially neutral
  • Crude Oil currently $48.55– after hitting $52 on OPEC speculation, the good news came and investers took their profits and ran…


Market Sectors:

Yesterday Energy and Basic Materials were the weakest sectors, and Technology continues to be the strongest. The financial sector was positive; but just barely. 

Just about everything else was positive yesterday (no big surprise considering how well the market performed). Tomorrow you’ll get a fresh in-depth look at the market sectors as part of the Scouting Reports.

This is yesterday’s sector performance (first chart)

This is how the sectors have performed over the last 5 days (see below)

 


Currencies:

  • USD currently $97.22 – the dollar has consolidated above $97 but still in a bearish trend.
  • Bitcoin currenty $2545 – lost 4% overnight as the dollar stabilizes and with yesterdays bull rally 
  • Ethereum – currently at $193.69  Etherum roughly follows Bitcoin trends (like silver roughly follows gold)

Trading Thoughts

Remember that the markets are closed on monday; so happy Memorial Day Weekend to all…

The markets had record highs yesterday, the S&P finally closed above 2405 which had been resistance for the last three months. Markets slipped slightly overnight (the Dow and the Nasdaq seem the most bullish this morning.)

0 to +1 Market Bias – I am feeling neutral on the S&P and just slightly bullish for the Nasdaq and the Dow.

More Bearish                                            Neutral                                                       More Bullish
