Hello Traders,
Interesting action today. Strong start after better than expected ISM and construction spending reports. Markets made significant gains but fizzled during the last hour with NASDAQ and RUSSELL finishing negative for the day – some what bearish close. Should be interesting ahead of Friday’s unemployment report.
