SPX, NDX Near Unchanged...Energy, Real Estate, Utilities Lead Sectors...Earnings Season Continues...


© 2025


SPX +3.54, 5,528, opened flat, rallied, after 15 minutes reversed and sold off rapidly when news hit the market about a massive power outage in Spain and Portugal, and then rallied the final two and a half hours of the day to close slightly higher.  The DJI, 40,227 +0.28%, and NDX -0.03% paused after a four day rally last week. 

Breadth strengthened as advancers increased on the exchanges and in the indexes. Light volume selling was in control in the morning after the power outage news, however buying was clearly in control during the afternoon. Net change advancing capital was larger than net declining capital in both the SPX and NDX.

PCE Price Index consensus forecast M/M 0.0%, Y/Y 2.2%, report at 10:00 am ET Wednesday.

Monday session insight: Light volume pullbacks are usually bullish.  You inhale and exhale every day, market price fluctuates, every day.  Welcome to trading and yes, please keep breathing, it's a good way to live.
