Good Morning,
Green again for now... NASDAQ Futures are up 56 with +53 Fair Value, Dow Futures are up 214. Futures appear to be cheery on the increased unlikelihood of a September Fed rate increase. The global market trend is optimistic as China closed up over 5% and Europe is also currently up. US jobless claims fall. Tiffany & Co (TIF) posts a fall in quarterly sales, blaming China, and is down nearly 5%. Tesla (TSLA) model S gets a glowing review in Consumer Reports, nabbing the highest rating ever and is up over 3%.
Yesterday, AAPL had another good day, opening higher than Tuesday's close, in the low 108s and selling down to low 105 by mid-day before climbing back up towards 110 on volume. AAPL closed the intra-day session at 109.69 and continued up in after-hours, ending at 110.25 on relatively high volume.
This morning in pre-market, AAPL opened up higher again, spending most of the time above 112 before a dip to 111.27 at 8:04am on relatively high volume before bouncing back to the 112-area. AAPL is currently up 2.22 at 111.91.
Classic max-pain is 109.
