Economic Releases
10:00 am:
- Consumer Confidence for June is estimated to rise to 104.0 versus 102.2 in May.
BOTTOM LINE: Asian indices are mostly higher as oil prices pulled back from early session highs. Consumer Confidence will likely come in modestly below expectations. I expect US equities to open mixed and move modestly higher in the afternoon. The Portfolio is 75% net long heading into the day.
