Summary

Well, we’re nearing the first typical turn time of 11am.
The micro 5/15/60min cycles favour the bears.
Market arguably needs an excuse for indexes to turn red, although the two leaders Trans & R2K, have already done that… if briefly.

notable Dow component: MSFT

Higher with the main market, but its been a chop fest since early June.

notable banking ETF: KRE

Regional banks nearing key resistance.
Today’s higher bond prices/lower yields are helping.

notable trans: DAL

Good earnings, but a full downside reversal, with sellers into the new high.

notable miner: FCX

Helped with copper printing $3.94… the latter helped by the weaker dollar.

Time for a much needed lunch…
