Daily Commentary
Headline News:
U.S. stock market futures are lower to start the day as oil prices surged due to an attack on Saudi Arabian oil facilities. Five percent of the world’s oil supply has now been shut down and could lead to a global economic slowdown. Markets will now focus in on the Federal Reserve policy meeting on Wednesday.
Markets:
The S&P 500 closed lower on Friday at 3007.39 and is now in a new trading range of 300.92-3020.24. The longer the index stays in this trading range, the better the likelihood of a move to an all-time high. We feel that markets do need to take a break and consolidate gains for a few days this week.
We are currently long term bullish and short term bullish.
