S&P 500 Near New Highs

http://feedproxy.google.com

The stock market is higher again this morning, defying those who continue to call for a pullback. I have been talking about how even though the market had become overbought, instead of pulling back it mostly went sideways while the overbought condition got worked off. This was a positive sign, and as you can see in the chart below, the oscillator has confirmed the recent highs in the market by making a higher high.

Happy Anniversary, Mr. Market

http://feedproxy.google.com

Today is the 1-year anniversary of the market bottom, when the S&P 500 touched 666 in what some are calling a 'generational low'. Today the S&P stands some 70% above those levels, thought still well off its previous highs. The S&P would have to rally another 35% to get back to its previous highs.

Tech is again outperforming so far, after Texas Instruments (TXN) raised its growth expectations in its conference call last night, and Cisco (CSCO) said it will be announcing a major technological advancement.

Monday Morning Musings: Healthy Digestion Ahead?

http://feedproxy.google.com

The markets are mixed so far this morning, with the Nasdaq leading the broader market by a tad. Corporate newsflow has been relatively light, and there are no major economic reports to speak of.

Greek worries continue to ease after Frech Pres. Sarkozy said that the EU would support Greece if required to do so, but Greece responded by saying that it will not need foreign help.
The dollar is slightly weak today, but commodities are mixed. Oil is trading higher, above $82, while gold is lower near $1125.

http://feedproxy.google.com

Moreover, that consensus figure had been moving lower in recent weeks, from a figure closer to -20,000, as people speculated that the inclement weather during the month would weigh on the employment picutre.
