Online Stock Trading Pt1
Daily Stock Report for Monday Morning, February 21
, 2010 pt1Stocks continued to move up Friday and was up slightly at the close on low volume. The concern about the Feds surprise move in the Discount rate wore off after an hour or so and moved up.
After the Fed clarified that this was not a rate hike but is more of a technical move between banks and the Fed, it may have calmed the markets on Thursday night. After watching the PPI and CPI numbers recently, it is no surprise the Fed is signaling that a rise in interest rates is likely late this year.
The US Dollar rose on Friday and oil has moved back up above $79. Gold is back over $1122 an ounce and the CBOE VIX (Volatility Index) is back down to $20.
CPI (Consumer Price Index) was lower than expected and a pleasant surprise to the market.
The market is surprisingly strong exceeding the Feb. 2nd high and making higher highs in 6 out of last 8 days. After moving through the Feb. 2nd high, the next area to watch is the 10,729 level on the Dow30, another 327 points higher. It is likely we see some selling before that but if the Dow30 goes above that January 19th high and make higher highs, the market could continue to accelerate.
We do hear earnings this week from retailers like Home Depot, Lowes, Nordstroms, Sears, Gap, Macys and Target this week. Fed Chairman Bernanke testifies on Wednesday and Thursday as well.
