Mish's Daily
By Mish Schneider
This week’s evening watches will be prepared by Matt Mullins. Michelle Schneider will return on July 7.
The S&P 500 (SPY), Nasdaq (QQQ) and the Russell 2000 (IWM) once again made new all-time highs, and posted new all-time high closes. The markets were in part fueled by Friday’s positive jobs number. The US economy created 288,000 new jobs last month and the unemployment is down to 6.1% (almost a six year low). SPY and DIA have potential runaway gaps. IWM has an inside day. Pay close attention to which way IWM’s range breaks on Monday. It will likely be an indicator for the direction the other indexes will move on Monday. The market is very bullish, but short term digestion or even a correction will not be surprising as the market continues to climb.
Have a Happy Fourth of July Holiday! Mish will be back on Monday.
