Squawk Morning Briefing: High Hopes
The talking heads all sound optimistic about the BLS report due in a few minutes after yesterday’s positive ADP report. Additionally, we don’t seem to be alone in our view that markets may be heading for a new high since equities continued their strength yesterday pushing harder toward the May 2nd top. The path there […]
Squawk Morning Briefing: I’m Too Sexy For This Risk
The monthly ADP report came out a few minutes after we finished recording our videos and +157,000 was enough to signal risk off — for the moment at least. Stock futures soared and treasury futures tumbled. The Euro did little as it already was continuing to move in the risk-off direction following the monthly ECB […]
Squawk Morning Briefing: Overbought? Understaffed?
It’s hard to call Tuesday’s pause a sell-off with the DJIA losing just 1/10 of one percent, but it was a pause in a string of up days that has created an overbought condition that we now need to work off. Our wave counts don’t require any correction to happen now. Corrections could still be […]
Squawk Morning Briefing: Fireworks or Dud?
Last year, the July 4th holiday launched markets upward to a new recovery high. This year, the bounce may have gotten an early start. Following Friday’s action, it is now less likely that the top is in and we need one more recovery high before a change in trend to the downside. These were among […]
Squawk Morning Briefing: Enjoy Your Holiday Weekend
Wave counts could allow for continued upside action in the equity indices before a turn back down, either with or without a meaningful fourth wave. This is consistent with an upward bias seen before long holiday weekends and also seen on the first of the month with mutual fund inflows. Nevertheless, at some point the […]
Squawk Morning Briefing: Industrial Activity Retakes Stage
With the Greece vote out of the way, attention can return to the U. S. economy and economic activity. Chicago PMI comes out today and could show weakness if it follows the lead of regional Fed reports. We noted earlier in the week that the Dallas Fed number was particularly bad. Historically, this number has […]
Squawk Morning Briefing: Uncertainty Abounds
Greek austerity measures passing wasn’t much of a surprise, but we still need to wait for the open to gauge to true raction of markets. There have been some wild swings so far.
We hope to see subscribers at our webinar today.
Squawk Morning Briefing: Greece Fire?
It sure is hard to put out a grease fire and it looks to be just as difficult to suppress the conflagration in Greece as protesters are vehement in their opposition to EU enforces austerity measures. Markets have shown that they react to this situation so we might expect a significant move tomorrow. The real […]
Squawk Morning Briefing: Is It Fall Yet?
Summer action can get slow. Add to that the indecisive action in the markets and it’s a tough trade right now. The changing of the seasons is predictable, but what we really want to anticipate is a fall in the markets. For some time we’ve been allowing for another high to be seen first and […]
