The coming week brings a wave of economic reports:
Monday: March factory orders
Tuesday: April services ISM
Wednesday: April ADP Employment
Thursday: weekly unemployment claims
Friday: April unemployment rate, April non farm payroll report
The struggle between bulls and bears continues near recent highs as weak economic reports and earnings disappointments prevail.
Sometime the Dow Jones Industrial Average and other major U.S. indexes will break out of this range in one direction or other. The longer it takes, the more violent the subsequent move will likely be.
