The Morning Look
Market Update:
Stock futures are higher ahead of Friday’s as investors digest a volatile week and wait for three Fed heads, including Janet Yellen, to speak later today.
Gary’s Thoughts: Failed breakout to upside and possibly a failed breakdown to the downside yesterday…which means major indices remain in range. We will know a lot more after the close today. Want to see what kind of recovery we get. Futures up decently after yesterday’s little washout. JPM and C have decent reactions this morning to earning’s reports. Financials roughed up yesterday so that could help.

Gary’s Thoughts: Wonder why!
The market is poised to fall !
Butt…the dollar is badly extended to the up side.
Q: Will the fed allow the dollar to continue to rally ?
Yes, ….the market tanks.
No, …..the market rallies.
There ain’t a whole lot more to say about it.
Yoda has spoken.
