EB Daily Market Report - Brief Update - Thursday, May 16, 2024

Tom Bowley -

Just a very quick update to point out a couple things.

Spring Special and Portfolio Draft

Tonight will kick off our Spring Special, which is our BEST deal of the year. Here's the deal:

Spring Special

Our Portfolio Draft will begin at 5:30pm ET. Room instructions were sent out separately. I hope to see you there!

Market Update

I'm prepping for tonight's DRAFT and really haven't followed the market too closely. I know that our major indices are fairly flat. The 10-year treasury yield ($TNX) has moved slightly higher, putting a bit of pressure on the small cap stocks (IWM, -0.62%).

There's a mixture of leadership with consumer staples (XLP, +1.61%) leading to the upside, while materials (XLB, -0.63%) lag the field. 5 sectors are higher, 6 are lower. Technology (XLK, -0.26%) is taking a breather after leading market action much of May.

Crude oil ($WTIC, +0.83%) has risen back above $79 per barrel, but many other commodities are lower.

I hope to see you later today!

Happy trading!

Tom
