Stock Market update -Jul 24th

The market was up a bit this week, hitting new all-time highs again, then pulling back. Maybe we'll see the NASDAQ and Small-caps (IWM), hit all time highs and catch up to the S&P500 before this rally takes a break.

Oil prices dropped again, while Bonds seem to have settled down from the prior selling.

Stock Market update -Jul 10th

We got a positive surprise with the monthly Jobs number on Friday, and the market rallied some more. But so did Bonds -these normally move in opposite directions. The next few weeks will probably tell us where we go from here on a longer term basis -earnings, Brexit, Euro banks, Japan... For now, looks like we will take out the all time S&P500 highs this week or next.

AMZN closed at  all time highs -so did Bonds! Stocks are almost there!

Options watch:   Implied Volatility dropped again! 
High IVR:  FXE, FXY currencies!  GDX, SLV, MON, POT -materials, Financials, TBT, 
Also AMZN, CMG, STX, and more
High volume:   PFE, GE, VRX, FCX, NFLX, MSFT
SPY, IWM, QQQ, AAPL, FB, BAC, HYG, GLD, GDX, USO, VXX, XLF, FXI, EEM EWZ, XOP

Next week:  Economic reports,   Brexit fallout?  
Earnings:      JPM, C, WFC  -banks kick off earnings season

Happy 4th of July!

We saw a strong recovery rally after the Brexit selloff, which itself lasted only two days! But we also got a rally in Bonds and Gold -interesting, everything rallied! Lets see what the 3rd quarter brings as we get ready for earnings season again -could be a rocky one. We have been at this level in the S&P500 several times over the past 18 months but have not been able to break above it to new highs.
