Good MorningEquity markets rebounded on Thursday, led by a surge in Apple. The world's leading consumer tech company advanced more than 3% on news it would cut a critical feature from its Watch, allowing it to avoid patent infringement scrutiny. The bad news is that Apple's advance may be short-lived. The move looks strong but failed to reclaim critical levels, leaving the market below a significant resistance hurdle.
The S&P 500 gained nearly a full percent for the session. The price action looks solid, but persistent divergences in the MACD and stochastic indicators show that market weakness is building. With no catalyst strong enough to drive the market to new highs, the odds of a correction grow. The next potential market-moving events will come next week. Earnings season ramps into high gear with reports from nearly 100 S&P 500 companies, and the PCE price index is due on Friday. PCE is expected to remain hot but may be hotter than expected, increasing the odds that the first interest rate cut won't come until late summer or fall.
