MARKET NOTE:
The GreeK referendum has come and gone and the earlier negative market reaction has subsided some. All of the major indexes remain lower at the moment but are well off their earlier lows. This could be telling us that even though the Greek situation remains fluid the market is ready to move on and focus on other important economic and market related issues and events. For example, Q2 earnings season will kick off later this week when Alcoa reports its numbers after the bell on Wednesday, and there's nothing more important to investors then the bottom line. So far the S&P has held important support at its 200 day moving average, currently at 2055, which is critical for the bulls, as a close below that level could spell additional trouble. Stocks aren't the only asset class lower today. Bond yields are down with the ten year treasury note now at 2.33% while oil is getting hit hard, with US crude lower by over 5%. So we'll want to keep an eye on how the market closes today, see if the bulls can limit any further selling here and see if US equities can move into positive territory by day's end, which would be bullish.
