Market Alert - Pre-Market

Futures vs FV: SP +2.89; DJ flat; NASDAQ -4.27

Quad expiration so there is typically volatility.

AMZN livens it up with a cash buy of Whole Foods. WMT -4%, KR -12%, TGT -5.5%. This is shaking up a weak sector.


Home STarts, May: -5.5% vs +3.5% exp. Three months down.

Permits: -4.9% vs +1.7% exp


OTHER MARKETS
Bonds: 2.158% vs 2.162%

Oil: 44.81, +0.35

Gold: 1257.00, +2.40


Futures are struggling at the lows, trying to rise on AMZN news. Again it is a question whether rotation comes around and/or the big names that were sold move back up.
