MARKET OVERVIEW Overseas markets continue to trade in the grip of fear of continued acts of terrorism, as just three of the 15 markets that we track are currently positive. The cumulative average return on the group stands at a minus 0.755 percent. While I am not qualified to discuss the topic, it would appear the Spanish populace bowed to the most recent act of terrorism, shifting their position on this weekend's presidential election. A surprise shift in sentiment elected Opposition Socialist leader Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero as the country's new Prime Minister. Also bowing to the dark hand of terrorism, the Spain IBEX 35 is dragging our overseas collective lower, trading off some 3.24 percent. U.S. futures trade is not offering up any moral support either. Before the market open today, the March Empire State Manufacturing Index is scheduled for release. Like many reports of late, it too is expected to slow a bit from record high levels to 38.1 from the prior month's (record) 42.05 reading. At 9:15 a.m., the release of the February Industrial Production index is expected to show a slowing to a plus 0.4 percent versus January's robust plus 0.8 percent. The companion report, February Capacity Utilization, is seen inching higher to 76.4 percent from the prior month's 76.2 percent of use.

But essentially, the U.S. rally was solidly underway before the news suggesting the bombing might be Al-Qaeda cut it short. The result was a free-fall that drove the Dow and NASDAQ to extremely oversold levels. Brit Ryle, noted market analyst at the Money Flow Matrix Trader, writes, "Dailymomentum on the NASDAQ increased Thursday, but never got to extreme territory. Daily stochastics are turning up. The volatility indices (VIX and VXN) have also spiked over the past few days. The put/call ratio, which was running above .9, finally hit a bullish crescendo at 1.20 Thursday. I think the NASDAQ has some upside coming, but it will likely be quick and could mark the highs for the next few months. My charts point to a high probability of the index rallying through 2,000 over the next 3-4 days. The 10-day moving average is at 2,025, while the 35-day and 50-day averages are zeroing in on 2,050. 2,050 is a probable target for next week, and there's an outside shot at 2,070 or even 2,100. In short, making money with calls should be the way to go through Wednesday, at least." The editorial team has prepared a special FREE REPORT for you - "America's 1,300 Fastest-Growing Companies."
