Markets are quiet this morning; digesting the recent big moves.Financial stocks are a bit lower; a big Middle Eastern investor is selling a part of their stake in Barclays Bank.Pending home sales are out at 9 AM, and the rest of the week is full of economic news.Tomorrow is the ADP employment report (a clue to NFP) and the ISM services number.On Thursday the BOE and the ECB meet, and Friday is NFP for May.I look for the commodities that have been strong to remain so for the time being, but traders should be cognizant of the fact that this rally has been based on fund, “investment” buying, not an actual pickup in demand; at some point we’ll need to seem demand increase to sustain the rallies.
June S&P:Trading under resistance at the old high of 939.25; 936.50 then 929.50 are support. Momentum is at short sale levels.
