U.S. Stock Indexes Lower in Early Trading
Wednesday, May 30--Jim Wyckoff's Morning Web Log
OVERNIGHT/EARLY MORNING DEVELOPMENTS
The features in overnight/early morning trading today are higher U.S. stock index futures and lower crude oil prices.
* JIM'S MARKET THOUGHT OF THE DAY *
My bias is that the U.S. Treasuries are due for a solid short-covering bounce very soon, and that major market lows are close at hand in T-Bonds and T-Notes.--Jim
