Daily Market Commentary: Low Volume Gains

http://feedproxy.google.com

While volume was uninspiring it was a good day for markets as they closed at their highs. The S&P managed to slip past converged 20-day and 50-day MAs on the back of a fresh MACD 'buy' - a respectable finish to the day.

NFP herding us to No Mans Land

http://feedproxy.google.com

Better industrial data out of China and the surprising ISM print in the US has every, already confused trader, becoming ‘more lost’ in whatever convictions they have left. At least we have the NFP crap-shoot still to come, that is bound to surprise. We may give up all we have gained in a heart beat this week and we would be none the wiser!

[Video] Study: CEOs Who Cut the Most Jobs During Great Recession Were Paid 42% Higher than Peers

http://feedproxy.google.com

The reference to an assorted menu was inspired by UOP’s plans to use a variety of feedstocks to produce a green biofuel using the pyrolysis process licensed from its joint venture partner Ensyn Corp.

Daily Market Commentary: Buyers Storm The Gates

http://feedproxy.google.com

A day when buyers took over the reins and didn't look back all the way to the market close. The only speed wobble was the light volume in the markets for an almost 3% gain on the day. For the S&P there was even a nascent 'buy' signal in the CCI.
