Eurodollar: Wednesday's technical breakout above 98.75, now the important intraday level, points the market higher.
Nasdaq: The index is technically weak below intraday 1317.78.
S&P 500: Technical levels are unchanged. Rallies will probably be turned back just below first resistance.
DJIA: Technical levels are unchanged. The Average is technically weak below first resistance, but that level may be tested, or nearly, by an early rally.
TSE 300: The index is bearish and pointed down to second support in coming sessions.
CRB Index: Look for a dip to first support.
Gold: Second resistance is a potential short-term top.
Crude: Technical levels are unchanged. A decisive move above intraday $37.10 will still imply a test of first resistance.
EUR/USD: First resistance is a potential short-term top.
JGB: Atest of first resistance is likely.
USD/JPY: A test of first support may touch off a bounce up to intraday Y117.05.
Nikkei 225: Technical levels are unchanged. Look for steady to slightly lower early trading.
