Top Day Recommendations
Durable goods orders come in at -5.7%. Minus transportation, they are down 1.4%. The odd thing about the negative reading for the headline number is that it’s an exact mirror of the previous month where durable goods were +5.7%. On this, stocks are slightly lower, bonds are higher while crude oil backs off from exact resistance.
Yesterday, there was a mini flash crash as the AP twitter account was hacked disseminating false information regarding the White House and incendiary devices. It resulted in a one bar phenomena and if you weren’t there to see it you missed it.
