DJI, NDX, SPX, RUT Closed Higher...Breadth Strengthened, Advancers Led...VIX Fell...CPI Report...


© 2026

SPX +65.28, 7,656 opened and closed higher, on a horizontal re-BO.  Before the open the CPI report was M/M 0.4% vs 0.4%, Y/Y 3.4% vs 3.4% consensus, Core CPI M/M 0.3% vs 0.2%, Y/Y 2.4% vs 2.4% consensus.  Drivers of inflation included Y/Y % change in gasoline +27.4%, airline fares +23.4%, tobacco +6.3%, motor vehicle maintenance +6.3%. Do those categories look like a Fed ¼% rate hike will lead to a slow down?

Oil /CL fell -2.49 and closed at 99.99.  Breadth strengthened as advancers led on both the NYSE and the NASDAQ exchanges.  The VIX fell and closed at 15.84.  RUT 2, 903 bounced.

SPX advancers: HPE DELL NTAP ON HPQ CDW SMCI FLEX ANET FISV MRNA.
SPX decliners: STX SNDK ALB WDC EW CPRT UNH PANW CBOE EXE YUM.

SPY +6.46, +0.85%, on above average volume of 45.5 million shares, close above the HOLD and short-term support. 
VIX -2.00, 15.84 closed lower.
NDX +0.91% closed lower.
DJI, 52,573 +0.98%, closed > HOLD.

Up: DIA, QQQ, SPY, IWM,
Down:


Mega caps AAPL, GOOGL, MSFT, BRK/B rose, and WMT, LLY, AMZN, AVGO, TSLA, META, TSM, NVDA, MU fell on Friday.


SPCX closed at 151.21, +3.03, on volume of 79.2 million shares. Our view is that SPCX, with no earnings, remains an overvalued speculation.  IPO at 135 on June 12.  In the end if buyers are greater than sellers the stock will rise.  People seem to be willing to speculate on this company’s fundamental future. 

The SPY MFC green line is down at 69, price-action on Friday moved above the HOLD, and re-broke out of resistance and is short-term bullish. -4.2
