mere skal der ikke til for at aktierne igen fortsætter den stigende trend siden bunden i januar/marts
et lille fald i olieprisen, som om 127 ikke er højt nok til at stimulere boomet i energisektoren og et mindre end ventet fald i durable goods med fremgang i maskiner mm
så alt det der med at optrenden i marts-maj blev brudt, da markedet faldet under en kileformet trendkanal forleden er dog det værste gang TA nonsens jeg nogensinde har hørt, men
man har jo efterhånden hørt en del nonsens
så man bliver ikke overrasket over hvad TA folk kan finde på at mene

Stocks head for higher open after smaller-than-expected drop in durable goods, decline in oil
NEW YORK (AP) -- Stocks headed for a higher open Wednesday after a government report showed orders for big ticket items declined less than expected last month.
A decline in oil prices also appeared to help stock futures.

The Commerce Department's report that orders for durable goods -- which include aircraft and machinery but also consumer items like cars, refrigerators and computers -- slipped 0.5 percent cheered investors. Excluding transportation, orders rose 2.5 percent -- the steepest increase in nine months. And orders for electrical equipment and appliances jumped 27.8 percent, the largest-ever increase.
The numbers appeared to help quell some investors' concerns about the economy. Wall Street has worried that high energy price have been hurting both businesses and their customers. Hesitation among shoppers isn't what Wall Street wants as consumer spending accounts for more than two-thirds of U.S. economic activity.
Futures contracts rose following release of the report. Dow Jones industrial average futures rose 46, or 0.37 percent, to 12,599. Standard & Poor's 500 index futures rose 8.10, or 0.58 percent, to 1,392.80, and Nasdaq 100 index futures rose 14.25, or 0.72 percent, to 2,007.25.
Bond prices fell following the durable goods report. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note, which moves opposite its price, rose to 3.98 percent from 3.92 percent late Tuesday.
The dollar advanced against most other major currencies, while gold prices fell.
Falling oil prices appeared to give a boost to stock futures. Light, sweet crude fell $2.10 to $126.75 per barrel in premarket electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. A decline in oil prices helped stocks finish higher Tuesday.
Overseas, Japan's Nikkei stock average closed down 1.32 percent. In morning trading, Britain's FTSE 100 rose 0.44 percent, Germany's DAX index advanced 0.88 percent, and France's CAC-40 rose 1.50 percent.
