SPX -0.48, 5,912, opened slightly lower, traded in a range, sold off dramatically during Jamie Dimon's chat, rallied during the final three trading hours to close essentially unchanged. The SPX formed one day bull flag pattern.

The DJI, 42,270 +0.13%, closed higher.  The NDX -0.11% formed a dragonfly doji and a one-day bull flag pattern on the chart. 

Breadth was mixed on Friday.

Friday Session Insight: Live reports in our newsfeed of Jamie Dimon’s Fireside Chat at the Reagan National Economic Forum to put it nicely were grossly inadequate and did his presentation a disservice.  A valuable watch of his 35 minute conversation with Morgan Brennan.

This post was delayed due to a power outage.

The DJI, 42,215 +0.28%, closed higher.  The NDX +0.21% was a second pause day after a bull flag bounce. 

Breadth strengthened on Thursday.

TSLA +1.53, +0.43%, black candle pause day in a bull flag  bounce.

SPX, NDX Close Lower ahead of NVDA EPS...Sectors Move Lower...After-hours: NVDA, CRM Rally on Positive EPS Reaction...Trade Court Rules Against Reciprocal Tariffs...

© 2025

After the close a U.S. Trade Court voided reciprocal tariffs saying the administration had overstepped his executive authority.  Futures rallied more than 90 points after the news.

SPX -32.99, 5,888, opened flat after a very strong Tuesday, rallied for about 15 minutes before trending lower.  Fed minutes at 2 pm ET were a non-event, but the SPX had one final leg down ahead of NVDA and CRM earnings after the close.

After-hours: NVDA +6.59, +4.89% and CRM +3.65, +1.32% on positive earnings reactions. Semiconductor stocks also rallied.

The DJI, 42,098 -0.58%, closed lower.  The NDX -0.45% was a pause day after a bull flag bounce. 

Breadth weakened as decliners led on the exchanges and in the indexes.  Net change declining capital was higher than net change advancing capital.

Wednesday Session Insight: NVDA report today after the close.  We don’t know what the outcome will be beat or a miss.  If it is a miss other semiconductor short dated, 30 May, option trades could drop and not have time to recover.  Evaluate correlated short, dated positions to see if you are comfortable with the risk you have.  And yes, if the earnings reaction is positive your semiconductor positions should likely gain from the positive reaction.

TSLA -5.99, -1.65%, red candle pause day in a bull flag bounce.

© 2025

Markets are closed Monday for Memorial Day!  Reopen on Tuesday.

SPX -39.19, 5,802, opened 59 points lower after the President indicated, about two hours before the open, that a 50% tariff should be a charged to the EU beginning June 1.  Later he indicated that the EU, 27 countries, has been very difficult to negotiate with and that talks were not making progress.  The SPX rallied most of the selloff from Thursday’s close to Friday’s low but rolled over the last two hours of trading to close below its intraday high. 

The DJI, 41,603 -0.61%, was lower.  The NDX -0.93% weakest of the four major indexes on Friday. 

Breadth weakened as decliners led on the exchanges in the DJI, NDX and SPX indexes.  Net change declininging capital increased significantly.

SPX,NDX Closed Sharply Lower as Breadth Weakened...All Sectors Move Lower...

© 2025

SPX -95.85, 5,844, opened lower after PANW gapped down on earnings released Tuesday after the close, and trended higher until about 12:45 pm ET before the SPX turned sharply lower.  While reports suggest higher yields among the factors contributing to market weakness on Wednesday, the move lower correlates with reports that the US would keep China chip restrictions.     

The DJI, 41,860 -1.91%, fell with the broad market.  The NDX -1.34% also moved lower. 

Breadth weakened as decliners increased and led advancers on the exchanges and indexes.  Net change declining capital on the SPX and NDX was more than seven times greater than net change advancing capital.
