Markets Wednesday flashed weakness, as they fell for the third consecutive day. Volume increased across the board. But they also cut their losses about in half. Perhaps its trading algorithms taking effect. The economic reports before the open were poor. ADP employment came up soft. Manufacturing data wasn't much better. This coming after we had a very feeble 1.8% GDP for Q1 this year. Most importantly leading stocks took a pounding once again. OPEN BEXP BID HES MCP all slumped today. Many more leaders, such as ARUN PPG JOYG CVX, are piercing their 50 day MAs to the downside. Retail and chips bucked the trend today while commodities once again sold off, today on a stable dollar. Earnings come tomorrow before the bell from TDC WNR EL HK and after the close from MCHP RBCN SPRD SUN. Thursday brings jobless claims, chain store sales and productivity.
