Lower new housing starts and weak technology outlooks held stocks back in trading yesterday until a rally by financial stocks reversed the erosion, and a mild rally commenced in the last hour of trading. Earlier the DJIA had given back the 30 points gained the day before, but rallied to close down only 11 points at 10,426. A second day of consolidating a base from which to rally was the message sent by the movements of the SmarTrend(R) indicators yesterday. More base consolidating, with prices declining to test supports by the market indices is expected this morning before leading economic indicators are reported. Tune in to hear the rest of our report!
