Other Potential Market Movers
- The weekly retail sales reports, IBS/TIPP Economic Optimism Index, US selling $35B 3-Year Notes, UBS Tech & Service Conference, CSFB Convergence Conference, Needham Internet & Digital Media Conference, (IP) Investor Day, William Blair Growth Stock Conference, Piper Jaffray Consumer Conference, Goldman Sachs Healthcare Conference, Merrill Lynch Samurai Conference, RBC Capital Tech/Communications/Media Conference and the Morgan Stanley Shipping/Commodities Conference could also impact trading today.
BOTTOM LINE: Asian indices are mostly higher, boosted by technology and financial stocks in the region. I expect US equities to open modestly higher and to weaken into the afternoon, finishing mixed. The Portfolio is 100% net long heading into the day.
