Another update
The last tick during regular trading hours was 1088.75, below the 1090 level I cited earlier in the day. The electronic high on August 13 was 1089 so I am going to use this as the line in the sand. Any weakness below 1089 tomorrow morning during regular hours will move me back to my 1050-60 target. Failing that I am going to treat today's action as an upside breakout from the 1066-85 trading range.

The coming week will be relatively busy on the earnings front as we head into the heart of the mini Jul-end reporting period. The mix of companies posting numbers will be concentrated in both tech and retail. For the former, on back of the NVDA preannouncement and CSCO disappointment, results so far from the Jul-end companies haven’t been great and tech has been one of the weakest sectors in the whole market so far in August.
Also in corporate America, CAT will be hosting an analyst meeting on Thurs.
Wednesday, Aug 18th: US (MBA Mortgage Applications); Eurozone (BoE Meeting Minutes, Eurozone Construction Output); Other (Japan Leading Index)
Treasuries 2s are a bit weaker, rising 3bps to 0.51%, while 10s are also weaker, rising 5bps
to yield 2.61%
Live long and happy w/your loved !
