Weekly Commentary

The major indexes traded within a narrow range with a slight negative bias. The NASDAQ Composite index lost 0.4% in a week when volumes were below average.  The NASDAQ Composite closed higher on only one day this week but our trend indicator remains positive for the NASDAQ as it does for the S&P 500 and DJI. Lower volumes contributed to a drop in the number of breakouts this week from 26 to 20.

The jobs report showed an increase in the participation rate which indicates growing optimism among potential job seekers. This increases the likelihood of a Fed rate increase in December and a decline in equity prices will likely follow. In the meantime, earnings reports kick-off on Tuesday and will effect the short term direction of trading.
