Markets Quieter in Early Trading

Friday, March 28--Jim Wyckoff's Morning Web Log

OVERNIGHT/EARLY MORNING DEVELOPMENTS

There is no standout market features in
overnight/early morning trading today amid quieter
markets.

* JIM'S MARKET THOUGHT OF THE DAY *

Traders, today and Monday are likely to be extra
important trading days in many markets. Today is
the last trading day of the week and Monday is the
last trading day of the month and of the quarter.
Look for the speculative “funds” to be more active
in the markets the next two trading sessions, as
they do some book-squaring.--Jim
