Oh James!

You’re confused again. Remember, we talked about this:  I'm not the sixties secretary-type but the 2013-undercover type.  Now run along, take your meds before I kick your ass. :-*

T40 @ -115, Europe futures not too bad.

Johannesburg - South Africa's headline consumer inflation undershot market expectations in June, slowing to 5.5% year-on-year from 5.6% in May, data showed on Wednesday.

Maybe some more Rand strength as a result.

South Africa's headline producer inflation accelerated more than expected to 5.9 percent year-on-year in June from 4.9 percent in May, Statistics South Africa said on Thursday.

Prices at the factory gate rose by 0.8 percent on a month-on-month basis in June from 0.3 percent in May.

US data

The latest weekly initial jobless claims count totaled 343,000, which was higher than the 340,000 that had been expected by the Briefing.com consensus. Today's tally was above the revised prior week count of 336,000. As for continuing claims, they fell to 2.997 million from 3.116 million.


June durable goods orders increased by 4.2%, which was better than the 1.8% increase that had been expected among economists polled by Briefing.com. This comes after the prior month's reading was revised up to reflect an increase of 5.2%.

Excluding transportation related items, durable goods orders were unchanged, which was worse than the 0.3% increase that had been broadly anticipated.

Perhaps not todays outlook but here is the chart of the ALSI.
If she breaks above the red resistance line at 41200 on good volume then the previous high will be the target.
I started here with nothing and still have most of it left.

Orca - if it breaks through 41200 and moves to previous high are you referring to the all time high of 42016.45 on 31 5 2013 or are you referring to the immediate past high?

The all time high at 42016 as there is no other resistance. If not tomorrow, then the NFP will push it through on Friday.
