Daily Commentary
Headline News:
U.S. stock futures are higher along with global markets on signs major economies will look to stimulate faltering economies. China and Germany took steps to bolster growth, and that has world markets higher.
Markets:
The S&P 500 has formed a broad trading range of 2822.12-2943.4, and the index has now developed a potential double bottom. The RSI index made a higher low last week, supporting the recent two days up move. Volume has been less than average recently, so traders might continue to be cautious until there is an up day with substantial volume. Until then, the trading could continue to be choppy, and caution is warranted.
We are currently long term bullish and short term cautious.
