Top Day Recommendations

Weekly jobless claims come in at 332,000. This is the second lowest weekly reading of the year. The labor market seems to continue to improve despite political ineptitude. Bonds are under slight pressure ahead of the 30 year auction today. $13 billion in 30 year bonds will be auctioned at approximately 1 o’clock this afternoon. Yesterday is actually fairly well which caused a momentary spike higher which was immediately faded. Metals are lower as stocks grind higher. The producer price index comes in at +0.7%, as expected. Oil is under pressure due to increasing supplies against a static demand.
