EB Watch List Update Report
Dear Members,
KEY EARNINGS REPORTS:
Thursday
LEN, NKE
Friday
DRI, KBH, TIF
MARKET NOTE:
The Dow is under pressure today but not so for the NASDAQ and Russell 2000 which continue to show strength. The fall out today is likely some residual from yesterday's FOMC rate announcement which was initially seen as a positive. Oil is back under pressure after yesterday's nice move higher but is off lows of the session. And bond yields remain low after yesterday's big move to the downside with the ten year treasury bond now trading near 1.94%, a concession that the Fed isn't rushing to raise rates. Barring a major sell off into the close, the bulls should be fine here.
