Out of Steam
Dow Jones Industrial Average’s rally went out of steam on Tuesday as the index fell 17.90 points or
0.15% to end at 12,018.63. S&P 500 index also edged lower to 1,293.77, down 4.61 points or
0.36%. Tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite was settled down 8.22 points or 0.31% lower at 2,683.87.

VZ topped the Dow 30 with 1.34% gains, while AXP came in second with 0.97% and BA filled in the
third spot as the aircraft manufacturer added 0.91% on Tuesday. On the downside, BAC, GE and
TRV were the bottom three with declines of 1.21%, 1.17%, and 1.14%, respectively.

With no significant economic data released, stocks took cues from the oil prices. US light crude for
April delivery ended at $104, up 1.6%, while the contract for May delivery finished at $104.97, up
1.8%. Brent crude for May delivery however, finished 74 cents higher at $115.70. Gold prices were
stable with spot gold ended up 0.1% at $1,425.95/oz. while the contract for April delivery finished
up 0.1% at $1,427.60/oz.

Wednesday will present new home sales data for February which is expected to increase from 284K
to 290K. No other data is expected on Wednesday, so it seems that the market will again, take the
cue from the Middle East tensions and the global oil prices.

I recommended entering LONG DD back in early March at $51.70 with PT at $59.06, and the trade
should have been filled as the recent low was at $51.30. As DD rebounded off its EMA-50, it is now
eyeing the return to at least $56.19, the recent peak. MACD has curled up, EMAs stay up and the RSI
has returned above its oversold level. HOLD long with PT at $56.19 first and $60.27 afterwards. Risk
below $50.01.
