Russell 2,000 having have strong day as well. Everybody, its good to see you. Its a big week. How much is riding on it, do you think . Well, i would say here, i think this rally is going to get exhausted bit. I think were at a point many the rally where a lot of thing vs to go right in order for this to continue. This has really been driven by macro news we have to look at fundamentals. The expectations right now are a strong recovery starts in the third quarter. Youve got the major averages have done incredibly well, 30 plus . Nasdaq, you go inside the nasdaq, facebook, amazon, alphabet 25 and some cases higher than that tech better live up to those gains.

Negotiations with china. Mixed Economic Data as Consumer Confidence falls, but Housing Market remains mostly steady and disney rallying on two positive notes, which has helped them propel the dow higher. We are on record high watch once again for the major indices. Joining us for the hour, Barbara Duran from bd8 capital partners. Barbara, how do you feel as we sit at these record highs. Can we hold this momentum through the rest of the year i actually think we can normally, ive been very skeptical. I really thought we would just be in a trading range and unlikely to see new highs. But i think weve got one or two new highs left and its not just optimism over the china trade partially being resolved i think its also, unlike last year where people were rushing for the exits, i think this year, theyre rushing to get in, because youve got the performance issue.

But the s p has really been in a range since the beginning of augus
Welcome good to have you with us some of the most closely watched names in the market are hirer. Apple is getting a lift. I dont know, this is a pump bounce that we got it all evaporated a bit. I think the important thing is to balance two opposing things in your head. Volatility is creating opportunity and tlauheres alwa opportunities. This is not the sort of bounce that makes you feel that this episode is over. I would prefer a huge open down gap lower today to what were witnessing now the good news is i think you can make the case for at least a pause here definitely a short term wash out is taking place. Xlk, the tech s p name, hardest hit yesterday. Today they are up the most you do want to see that. Right now 20 of s p 500 companies have an rsi below 30 a fifth of the market is statistically over sold.
