Equity Index Update
Brad Sullivan
The index markets continued to trade in a narrow range with a sustaining bid underneath the current pricing zones. Activity was light as volume flows are running at a -30% clip in some of the indices versus their respective YTD averages. This afternoon will bring the release of the Minutes from the last FOMC meeting and should spark some bit of trading activity. In addition Dr. Bernanke will speak in Washington and Richmond Fed President Lacker will speak on the economy in Charlotte. Given the lack of movement, I have included 5 charts today, 4 of which are focused on the MA % differentials since the start of 2007. The other chart continues to show the strong correlation between the YEN and SP.
