Another Milestone

Today, another milestone for EquityClock was reached on StockTwits. Number of followers increased to 25,000. Previous milestone was reached on June 27^th at 24,000.

Observations

World equity indices continued to move higher yesterday. The latest county index to move above resistance to a new recent high was the Australia All Ordinaries Composite Index on a move above 5,489.80.

Strength in JP Morgan was the trigger for strength by S&P 500 companies yesterday when the company beat consensus second quarter earnings. A word of caution! Money center banks including JP Morgan have a history of moving higher during the second quarter report season followed by a correction period. Current positive action at this time of year has provided an opportunity to take profits on strength.

Treasury prices continue to show technical signs of rolling over. Yesterday was another brutal day for long term Treasuries. Prices responded to a higher than expected June Producer Price Index, raising concerns about rising inflation pressures. The June Consumer Price Index to be released this morning will be watched closely for more clues on inflation pressures.
