Weekend update - US equity indexes

It was a bearish week for US equity indexes, with net weekly declines ranging from -3.8% (R2K), -3.6% (Nasdaq comp'), -2.9% (SPX), -2.5% (NYSE comp'), -2.3% (Trans), to -1.9% (Dow). Near term outlook is bearish.

Lets take our regular look at six of the main US indexes

Nasdaq comp'

Dow

R2K

Trans

Summary

All six US equity indexes were very significantly net lower for the week.

The R2K lead the way lower, with the Dow most resilient.

Looking ahead

Earnings:

M - THO

T - CTAS, FERG, COST, AIR

W - PAYX, MU, FUL

T - New home sales, Case-Shiller HPI, consumer conf'

W - Durable goods orders, EIA Pet'

T - Weekly jobs, GDP Q2 (print'3)

F - Pers' income/spending, PCE, Intl' trade,

As Friday Sept'29th is the last trading day of the month and Q3, I'd look for very dynamic price action on high vol'.

Final note

I will merely note... the next six trading days could be pretty incredible, and besides... who doesn't love some market drama?
