Squawk Morning Briefing: NFP Week

Friday brings the Non-Farm Payroll report from the BLS on Friday and we know that the markets tend to want to put themselves in an ambiguous spot right before the release so we’ll look to see if that happens later in in the week. In the mean time, U. S. equities have failed to […]

Squawk Morning Briefing: Hectic Morning

It’s a bit of a hectic morning so we’re going to skip introductory comments today and get straight to our videos.

Squawk Morning Briefing: One More New High?

The first trading day of 2014 saw U. S. equities come through some of the support levels we were watching but then stopping right at the next level of support. By itself, stopping at a support level questions whether or not the move down from Tuesday’s high represents the end of an advance. […]

Squawk Morning Briefing: Welcome to 2014

U. S. equity futures opened 2014 trading with a decent gap down. January 1st is a typically bullish day so this action is either masking the market’s upside intent or signalling that this year might be an exception. We may have to wait until after the cash markets open to determine which but […]

Squawk Morning Briefing: Nothing To See here

Monday was a dull day with a 27 point range in the DJIA and very little movement to suggest any change to our outlook in any of the markets we cover. Again today we have one video to update all of the markets but we’re not expecting today’s action to do much more in […]

Squawk Morning Briefing: Euro On The Move

While there’s not much change to the picture for U. S. equities which still appear to have an incomplete move up, the dramatic move overnight in the Euro now has the currency looking incomplete to the upside. Full details in today’s videos.

Squawk Morning Briefing: New Year Surprise?

The trend in U. S. equities remains up and today’s videos update the outlook on on what we need to see before we can anticipate a turn. There are some reasons to think that bullishness could continue through the end of the year. In addition to positive seasonal tendencies through the end of […]

Squawk Morning Briefing: Happy Hollidays

There is not much new in the market outlook ahead of a day of holiday-shortened trading. That makes it an excellent time to not worry so much about the market. We wish you a joyous and peaceful holiday season and we’ll be back with our next update on Thursday morning.

Squawk Morning Briefing: Santa’s Seasonals

Heading into the Christmas Holiday we’ve seen new all-time highs in U. S. equities. This is the minimum upside expectation following a corrective decline. That does not mean this move is over. It will continue up until we can count a completed five-wave move. Seasonal tendencies are also bullish. Full […]
