Patiently Waiting While Risk Rises
Last week I mentioned that 7 day momentum calculated from Twitter for the S&P 500 Index (SPX) needs to hold above it’s last low to show that the bulls aren’t jumping ship. This week the last low is holding, but just barely. The rising trend of sentiment has been broken and 7 day momentum is […]

By Michelle Jones The overall U.S. advertising industry was better than expected, but not all companies equally benefited. Unsurprisingly, Facebook (FB) and Google (GOOG) dominated as digital advertising is going strong.

International Economic Week In Review: The Slowdown Gains Traction
The OECD is the latest organization to issue a report with downward global growth projections: Global growth has eased to around 3% this year, well below its long-run average.

EURUSD: Above 1.0673 Zone Leaves Threats To The Upside
EURUSD: With EUR struggling to close marginally higher the past week, risk of a recovery higher is not over yet. This development leaves the 1.0673 zone providing support and leaving threats to the upside.
