AS I SEE IT: The bullish market momentum that started yesterday continued today. After the first hour and a half the market stalled and traded sideways waiting for the CPI Report tomorrow morning at 8:30ET.

Interest rates were a little higher but not enough to stall the rally. Bonds were oversold yesterday and as they rallied stocks traded higher, but now that strengths have eased off we’ll see if rates resume their rally, or continue to ease a little. Interest rates are the name of the game now, so as they move the market is moving with them. In the long-run I believe interest rates will be much higher.
