E-Mini S&P 500: Propelled higher by earnings reports?
The E-Mini S&P 500 had an inside to higher day mostly propelled by anticipated higher earnings reports! We have overcome the fears of a nation of people facing the earthquake in Japan followed by the tsunami, the turbulence in Libya and now possibly Syria, the debt woes of the Euro Zone to a renewed confidence in the market. Note the events are still in play, but the sentiment has turned optimistic in some of the headwinds of these events. Acquisitions, mergers and earnings reports have been the fuel for the market in the face of many natural disasters and economic uncertainty. Semiconductor stocks helped launch the market as Micron Technology Inc. reported better than forecasted quarterly profit. They were up 8.4%. Best Buy had better than the forecasted earnings. Out of the energy sector, Tesoro Corp. was up 40.4%. Oracle Corp. was up .4%.
Today’s US Initial Jobless Claims fell 5,000 to a seasonally adjusted 382,000. Durable Goods fell .9%.
Friday, we look forward to US GDP due out at 7:30 AM CST.
