I stated last week that 'the market is long overdue for some kind of pause'. Well, we got it this week, and it may continue into next week, after the disappointing Jobs report on Friday. The US Dollar rallied, while everything priced in dollars dropped -gold, commodities, stocks, etc. Bonds rallied along with the dollar.
New all time highs: AAPL, BBBY, DISCA, DLTR, FDO, FOSL, LULU, MA, V, TJX, ROST, SBUX, SBH...
All time lows: UNG
Pops: BBBY
Drops: GRPN, GLD, SNDK
Next week: Economic reports
A Disappointing Jobs report triggered a sell-off in the S&P500 futures on Friday morning (the regular market was closed for Good Friday). We'll see if there is any selling follow through next week.
Earnings reports:
Tue: AA
Wed: CAT
