Markets staged a huge comeback Thursday, reversing off nasty early losses. Volume expanded giving the move some validity. Both major indexes found support at their 200 day MAs. Week jobless claims had the market reeling early, but news of a Greece bailout plan put the market on a recovery course, which ended with market closing hard upon their highs. Bullish behavior indeed. Recent earnings reports from the likes of FDX yesterday, and CAT JOYG lately, suggest the global economy might not be as fragile as feared. Merger activity continued after hours as a higher bid for SUG sent the stock surging. ETE IP VFC COF all announcing buyouts as of late as well. I am taking a more bullish stance regarding markets. Whichever event you want to give credit for the market rallying, whether it was Greece, oil plunge, the market rallied. The tape can not be ignored. Add the bearish action of some defensive leaders today such as KO CL, and maybe some risk appetite is returning. ORCL was down after hours, while TIBX ACN were up on earnings. Tomorrow not much on the earnings front, but we get the latest take on Q1 GDP and durable goods.
