MONDAY:   A quiet day to start the week as retailers begin reporting earnings in just a few days and we may get to find out just what really is going on with consumers

TUESDAY:   It looks like another flat day awaits ahead as all is quiet until those retail earnings begin to start coming through later this week and next

WEDNESDAY: It looks as if we have another flat day in store as there is little to get excited about for anyone, although a pronounced series of  retailer earnings reports could move markets sharply if either disappointing or confirming interest rate increase expectations

THURSDAY:  A very, very flat week may get a little bit of shaking up today, as retailers begin their reports. The morning already shows some more movement than seen in the previous 3 days.

FRIDAY:.  Record highs on all 3 major indexes to begin the day as the week comes to its end. Tough decisions as to what to do next.







MONDAY:   Oil continues weaker to start the week, but the market continues fairly resilient as the week ends with another Employment Situation Report after digesting more, but relatively unimportant earnings

TUESDAY:   After 6 straight losing days, but without much of a cumulative decline, futures are again pointing mildly lower, even a news of a Japanese economic stimulus fails to stimulate

WEDNESDAY:  A decent sized loss yesterday extended the streak to 7 days and it may continue today, although for a change oil is moving higher. The real impetus for anything may still have to wait for Friday’s Employment Situation Report, though

THURSDAY:  Finally a gain, although a small one, came yesterday, as markets followed the rally in oil, just as they followed oil lower the day before. Today looks like it will get off to a flat start unless the Bank of England stuns the world

FRIDAY:.  Employment data may loom larger than normal as we could find out today which of the past 2 month’s worth of statistics was more reflective of reality. In turn, we could get more information on when interest rates may be raised in the event of a strong showing in either direction.







MONDAY:   It will be a relatively quiet week on the economic news front, but there will be lots of earnings to potentially move market’s ahead of next week’s FOMC Statement release

TUESDAY:   Another record closing yesterday, albeit a small increase, but maybe another day of rest today. Slowing down the rate of rise is a good thing, but it would still be good to establish some support levels on the way higher

WEDNESDAY:  After yesterday’s mixed market close, today the march higher may resume as more earnings come in and technology gets off to a good start

THURSDAY:  More records yesterday, but maybe a chance to take a break today. As much as it’s nice to move higher, it would be very nice to develop some levels of support

FRIDAY:.  A flat open looks to be in store as the week comes to its end ahead of next week’s FOMC Staetment release and GDP. No one is talking about a July meeting rate hike, though.







MONDAY:   This morning’s futures are telling us that we are in store for a new all time record high, but we have to have it tested first. Sometimes it takes a couple of those tests to really mark a new high and to go well beyond

TUESDAY:   After breaking the all time record high yesterday, it looks as if the market isn’t interested in testing the old high and instead looks to move even higher. Sometimes when it seems that there are absolutely no good reasons to head in any particular direction, that is the only direction that makes sense.

WEDNESDAY:  More all time record highs, but today may be the time for a healthy break in the action

THURSDAY:  Yesterday’s pause looks like it’s giving way to another step toward a breakout as the monthly option cycle comes to an end tomorrow

FRIDAY:.  Today may be one of those rare quiet days on the last 2 weeks as the monthly cycle comes to an end and the world finds another reason to grieve.







MONDAY:   The futures aren’t indicating any post-“Brexit” bounce and that may make things more interesting as the morning unfolds.

TUESDAY:   This morning may finally have the bounce, which hopefully secures the outcome of the positions opened yesterday and expiring this week.

WEDNESDAY:  Buying into the close on Monday may have been a sign of Tuesday’s bounce and that buying into the close continued on Tuesday, as well. This morning’s futures are again pointing nicely higher, as a result

THURSDAY:  After all of the tumult of the past few days the S&P 500 is down only 2% from where it left off right before the Brexit vote. This morning is trying to whittle down the loss even further

FRIDAY:.  Today may be a much warranted day of rest before a long holiday weekend.
