Financials and basic materials weighed on $SPX, while tech was stronger. There were new highs in $AMZN, $WMT, $NFLX and $LLY, among others listed below. Many stocks are at the higher end of their daily range, after a strong last 7 days leading into today, so some consolidation could be expected. The market is likely going to sort through earnings, healthcare news and economic news, so some volatility could also be expected. Energy stocks are correcting, and as they do the longer term risk vs reward improves.
POSITION UPDATE: No activity today, but we did move up the stop in $NFLX to 329.80.
The focus group tomorrow is scheduled to be gold miners and $GDX. $GDX is scheduled to be the Chart of the Day for tomorrow and we are planning to open a position there in the morning. Gold and miners have been a focus group most of this year, although $GDX had a huge volatility shakeout last month, which is now coming in. The $GDX daily chart is setting up well in it’s base here, over the 200-day moving average. Also, spot Gold, $NEM and $GOLD have all broken out to multi-year highs, and $GDX appears to be setting up as well. $30 is the top of a 7-year range, and if that clears, that could signal a new leg higher.
$GDX MONTHLY
Other than that there is no activity planned in the accounts for tomorrow.
