Not much change from yesterday but the DJIA and the S&P500 moved higher whereas the NASDAQ declined. Yet the gains came in too small to change the current fundamentals or the outlook. The gain for the DJIA of plus .05 percent and of .04 percent for the S&P500, are among the 60th lowest positive closes in the past 20 years. On the other hand, the -.28 percent drop of the NASDAQ is among the more common occurrences.
Thus it is not unexpected that the count of these closes is 48 times since 1950 and just ten times since January 2000. As for tomorrow, in the past the NASDAQ experienced five losses and five gains; the S&P500 had six losses and four gains, whereas the DJIA had only three further advance and seven declines.
DJIA .05 percent
NASDAQ – .28 percent
