• This Week in the Market

  The market continued its descent lower as stocks opened the week by gapping down and closed even lower on the day. However, the major indexes were able to rally off session lows on Friday. Will that momentum carry into this week, or will this bear market continue? Despite so much negative talk about inflation, gas prices, slow economic growth and the Ukraine crisis, it does seem there are a few positives that can bolster bulls. But as has been the case in the past, the market can surprise. From a technical standpoint, the major indexes may be a tad extended to the downside and far away from their 200-day moving averages. At least a small bounce would not be out of the question this week. Implied volatility levels remain elevated.
  
  Looking ahead, the market is closed Monday in honor of Juneteenth. With volatility still rampant, a short week could be just what traders and investors need. Several economic reports expected this week with various Federal Reserve members expected to talk, including Fed Chair Powell on Wednesday morning. Quarterly earnings remain slow.

  Oil prices tumbled about 5% to a three-week low on June 17, led by a slump in U.S. gasoline futures, as investors worried interest rate hikes from major central banks could slow the global economy and cut demand for energy.
  
  Also pressuring prices, the U.S. dollar this week rose to its highest since December 2002 against a basket of currencies. A stronger dollar makes oil more expensive for buyers using other currencies.
  
  There will be no U.S. trading on June 20 for the Juneteenth holiday.
