RUT, DJI, SPX, NDX Closed Lower on Earnings Season Day 3...SKHY, SPCX Closed Lower...AAPL Closes at All-time High...

© 2026

SPX -38.63, 7,533, opened and closed lower, in a tight five-day range, above its 30 DMA and near horizontal resistance.  The SPX and NDX remain in their 7-week sideways channels.  Breadth weakened as advancers led on the NYSE, but decliners led on the NASDAQ exchange.

Nine sectors advanced today, but the industrials and technology sectors declined.  Semiconductor stocks, which had strong upward momentum until June 22, have declined 15% since their high and continue to contribute to congestion in the NDX.

SK Hynix ADR, SKHY, closed 152.31, -13.69% on its fifth trading day.  IPO was at 149.  SK Hynix is a profitable company with over $65 billion in revenues (larger than SPCX) and $28 billion in annual profit.  However, the ADR has only five days of trading history and is speculative because the ADR stock itself does not have a track record to evaluate.

SpaceX, SPCX, closed at 131.11, -3.08%. Our view is that SPCX, with no earnings, is an overvalued speculation.  IPO at 135 on June 12.  A least one report on Thursday indicated that sellers are increasing their short position in the stock.
