Above the fold
Record Highs On Early Trading/Early Close Tomorrow
Friends
As expected, it was a very quiet day of trading. Stocks were
able to squeak out a small gain by the close, but volume was light and
volatility was muted. We do have the ADP private payroll jobs number tomorrow, and
the non-farm payroll number on Friday, so that might add a little spice to the
situation before the end of the week.
For the day, the Dow Jones Industrial was up 69 points to
close at 26,786. The S&P 500 was up 8 points to finish the day at 2,973. Gold
was up $27 to trade at $1,416 per ounce, while oil was down $2.72 to trade at
$56.37 per barrel WTI.
With 4th of July on Thursday, the markets close
early tomorrow at 12:00 noon our time- so we will be closing the office early. We’ll
let you know if anything happens during the shortened trading session tomorrow
before heading out for the day.
Have a nice evening everyone.
