Market Cross Currents
Since the beginning of the year the markets have seen a lot of cross currents. Stocks have dropped, rallied, and are essentially struggling in attempts to make and hold new highs. No doubt some of this attempt to make new highs is due to the political fact that the Republicans are trying to make “nice” maybe should say “play dead” in Washington as they don’t want to alienate to many voters going into the mid-terms.
In any case gold, oil, and commodities are making some good bounce gains for the year. See here the overview page on a short-term trading platform as of last night.
