Wednesday After Market

Markets rallied Wednesday in decent volume, but finished well off of their highs. A test of the 50 day MA in the next day or two could establish whether this rally will resume or the correction will deepen. Oil rallied to finish above $101, giving the energy and commodity sector a boost which began yesterday after a Goldman call. No surprise that the stocks within those sectors that rallied the firmest, where the ones the have displayed the best relative strength. BHI bulged 5% higher and retook its 50 day MA. HAL also rallied 5% and recaptured its 50 day in the process. KEG leapt 8%. Chemical stocks, a recent leading group, showed some muscle today. EMN PX received solid 50 day support, while groupmates APD LYB ROC all retook their 50 day MAs to the upside. TO demonstrate that the strong get stronger, and the weak get weaker, retail continued its horrific action Wednesday. Today the culprits were RL and EXPR. They fell 11% and 12% respectively undercutting their 50 day MAs on earnings. NFLX hit an all time high today. The market does however remain in correction mode, but a move above the 50 day MAs for the indexes in healthy volume would reenergize the bulls. After the close today NTAP reported and was up 4&, and SMTC also reported and was up 7% as we wrote. OVTI TIF both report earnings after the close, and Thursday as always bring jobless claims and GDP.
