Looking ahead at potential market influences: Mar 24 Durable Orders, New Home Sales.
Yesterday: "a rebound in the market and crude and the mantra is onward and upward. The question is how far?"
Todays home sales number sparked interest rate fears as bonds sold off and yields went over 4.75. Crude jumped and this hurt equities as well. Mar 28 Fed meeting statement will be critical.
Keep it tween da ditches, we take it day by day and keep our eyes peeled to the sky, because it could be a name brand that pancakes us. Just my opinion, I could be wrong, this is The Nattering Naybob and your NOT!!!
