Market Direction Week of June 16, 2014



Concern is mounting that the U.S. will be forced to intervene in Iraq to stop insurgents from taking over the country. Also, violence in Ukraine escalated over the weekend after 49 Ukraine soldiers were killed. This week's stock market action will probably be dictated by geopolitical news. 

Today’s June Empire manufacturing index showed a better than expected Empire Manufacturing number (19.3 actual v. 12.8 expected, 19.0 previous). Today’s June NAHB housing market index showed a better than expected NAHB Housing Market Index (49 actual v. 46 expected, 45 previous). 

Economic Calendar: Consumer Prices Index (6/17), Housing Starts (6/17)

Some of the major earnings announcements on deck: FDX, ORCL, FDS.

$tockMarketDirection is in a BEARISH  posture. The most recent action in the stock market is suggesting the market direction could change. We strongly encourage our many bloggers/followers to monitor positions closely, exercise proper money management strategies and to monitor $tockMarketDirection for ALERTS that we may issue advising of a change in our current posture. Cha-ching.
