SHANGHAI PLUNGES 7.4%, FINAL GREEK TALKS AHEAD

Overnight Shanghai market plunged 7.4%.

Final talks on Greece are ahead this weekend creating a lot of uncertainty.  European leaders are publicly beginning to prepare for failure of the talks.

Earlier this morning for a brief period there was aggressive selling in oil, gold, silver, and  bonds.  It appears that some market participants are trading on the theory that Greek talks will fail, dollar will rise, and that will hurt gold, silver, and oil.

Our very, very short-term early stock market indicator is neutral.

Gold futures are at $1171, silver futures are at $15.72, and oil futures are $58.95.

S&P 500 resistance levels are 2100, 2111, and 2132; support levels are 2063, 2038, and 2017.

DJIA futures are up 41 points.

NICE UPWARD GDP REVISION BUT DOUBTS ABOUT GREECE SOURED THE MOOD

Third estimate of Q1 GDP came at -0.2% vs. second estimate of -0.7%.  Subscribers may recall that earlier our analysis had indicated that -0.7% GDP contraction was abhorrent.  The new third estimate is in line with our analysis.

On the new GDP estimate, U. S. stocks would have been expected to jump higher but doubts about Greece are souring the mood.  Greece seems to be backpedaling on some earlier concessions.  There are also some reports that Germany is insisting on approval by the Greek Parliament.  There is significant opposition to the proposed deal in the Greek Parliament.

Oil is having difficulty holding the $61 level ahead of DOE data to be released at 10:30 am ET.  API inventory data showed larger draw than the consensus.  Oil did not move on the API news as the news had leaked out earlier in the day causing a spike in oil yesterday mid-morning.

Even doubts over Greece are not helping gold and silver this morning.

Interest rates are hanging near their highs.

Our very, very short-term early stock market indicator is negative.

Gold futures are at $1171, silver futures are at $15.78, and oil futures are $60.95.

S&P 500 resistance levels are 2132, 2150, and 2200; support levels are 2100, 2063, and 2038.

Gold and silver are retreating in the face of stronger dollar.

Interest rates in the U. S. are rocketing up supporting the rise in the dollar.

Durable Goods x-trans came at 0.5% vs. 0.6% consensus.

Optimism on Greece continues.  However, investors should be cautious as there is a fair amount of opposition from the leftists in Greece.

Our very, very short-term early stock market indicator is neutral.

Gold futures are at $1177, silver futures are at $15.81, and oil futures are $60.12.

S&P 500 resistance levels are 2132, 2150, and 2200; support levels are 2100, 2063, and 2038.
