Stocks under Pressure as Investors Shed Risky Assets
The lack of major economic reports today means the direction of the Dollar is likely to exert more influence on the U.S. equity markets. With the Dollar up overnight because of risk aversion, traders are selling equities. Yesterday’s tight trading range and lack of follow-through during the New York session may have been indications that the stock markets are overbought. The daily March E-mini S&P chart suggests that a break through 1128.75 may accelerate the move to the downside.
