Stock Market update -Mar 15th

The market continued to lose ground this week and could be signaling a bigger correction -only time will tell. The Fed meeting this week will likely be the catalyst for the next move (up or down). The US Dollar continues to rise, as the Euro, Oil, Gold, and commodities continue to fall. The Euro is now trading near 1.04 vs. the Dollar!


DIS hit another all time high, as did HUM -both Dow stocks. DD and UNH are approaching all time highs too.
AAPL finally announced their new watch, and also got included in the Dow, but the stock dropped. Lots of disappointed investors!

New all time highs:      AET, AGN, DG, DGX, HUM, KR, NXPI, SWKS, TGT, ULTA
All time lows:   BSBR
Pops:     DG, LOCO
Drops:  ARO, INTC

Next week:  Economic reports,   FED Meeting
Earnings:     ADBE, FDX, ORCL, NKE
