Daily Commentary
Headline News:
U.S. stock markets are higher after third-quarter earnings reports continued to impress. Netflix (NFLX), Morgan Stanley (MS), and CSX corporation all had positive earnings results. A revised Brexit deal was announced this morning, setting up another crucial vote in Parliament on Saturday.
Markets:
The S&P was little changed on Wednesday and did now follow through after Tuesday rally. The last two trading days have come with below-average volume, but the trading actions have been good enough for us to move to short term bullish. The RSI index moved above the 50 level to support the current rally, and we feel that a test of the September high will potentially happen this month. Yesterday was a sideways trading day, which is what we wanted to see happen after such a big move off the October low.
We are currently long term bullish and short term bullish.
