Summary

closing hour action: micro chop. S/t momentum settled on the low side.

… and that concludes the week. A pretty natural day of chop, for a quad-opex. With a new hist’ high of 5505, it should be seen as a net bullish week. The s/t cyclical setup favours the bulls for next Monday.


notable bond yield proxy: TNX

Yields a touch higher.

notable bond ETF: TLT

Bonds churning broadly flat.

notable regional bank ETF: KRE

Regional banks moderately weak.
Broadly… it remains a year of chop.
The concern should be renewed inflation, and higher yields/rates.


A little sunshine always helps. Have a good evening
