A worse than expected jobs number on Friday wasn’t enough to take the stock market down. For the week, stocks jostled back and forth in a tight range (1%) last week, with the S&P 500 finishing down just 0.25%.
Patience is tough for traders, but it’s a requirement now. With a Federal Reserve meeting and a Brexit vote still on the horizon for June, traders are sitting tight waiting for the price action to lead them.
Those outcomes will likely bring a lot of “noise” to the market, so traders will likely be tested this month. Focus and discipline will be necessary.
Lots of high quality trading links this week from some great names in the financial blogosphere. Enjoy!
