© 2026


SPX -1.58, 7,675, spinning top closed above the high of the following candle.  Breadth weakened as decliners led on both the NYSE and NASDAQ exchanges.  The VIX closed lower.  RUT 3,005 spinning top in an 8-day bull flag pattern.

The PCE report Core M/M 0.2% vs 0.2%, Y/Y 3.3% vs 3.3 estimate, inline, headline M/M 0.2% vs 0.1% Y/Y 3.7% vs. 3.6% estimate.

SPCX closed at 139.63, +1.68, on volume of 60 million shares. Our view is that SPCX, with no earnings, remains an overvalued speculation.  IPO at 135 on June 12.
