Still riding the wave of optimism from last week’s positive inflation data but also sitting on the fence awaiting new inflation data and Fed comments, the S&P and Dow both started the day on a high, the Dow up over 250 points, but quickly declined to end almost flat with the S&P and mildly in the red for the Dow.  The Nasdaq had a better day, though very choppy, but ended with its 5th consecutive record high (the S&P its 4th) on a persisting wager on a September rate cut, now with 75% odds vs last week’s 60.  Q2 earnings growth are estimated at 10.1%, up from 8.2 in Q1.  Volume remains light at 10.1 billion vs a 4-week average of 11.6 billion. 

DJ: 39,375.87  +67.87       NAS: 18,352.76  +164.46      S&P: 5,567.19  +30.17  7/5

DJ: 39,344.79  -31.08        NAS: 18,403.74  +50.98        S&P: 5,572.85  +5.66    7/8
