1pm update - Dow pushing significantly higher

US indexes continues to climb, with significant gains for all indexes. The Dow is making a play for a daily close above the 50 day MA of 16847. Daily, weekly, monthly cycles all offer 17200s in the immediate term. 17300/500 zone is viable in September.


Dow, daily


Summary

Last Friday morning's little washout is now looking a fair way lower.

Daily charts offer a straight up run to test the historic highs.. and with the Nasdaq already breaking new post 2009 highs, there is little reason why the rest of the market won't follow.

Oil remains very weak, -1.4%, but hey.. that is bullish US consumer, yes?

Shippers looking fine.. DRYS +2% @ $3.27...seemingly headed for $4 in September.
