Equities and the Economy: • Dow and S&P flat over the last 5 days. • Nasdaq coming back “in line.” The last Morning Energy Blog was last Thursday reflecting Wednesday’s price action so let’s see what’s happened since then. For the Dow and S&P 500, nothing. Both are very, very marginally lower compared to last […]
Equities and the Economy: • S&P posts biggest one-day gain in 2 months. • Nasdaq has best 1 day-gain in 8 months. It’s been a very, very fickle month for stocks. Why do I say this? Because the S&P 500 has had its 3 biggest daily gains and its 2 worst daily losses of the […]
