Tech Leading The Action

We had a messy open with a spike up after half an hour, a spike back down and then a rally up. In the afternoon we sold off towards the morning lows (and yesterday's close) and - again - a move back up to the high of the day. The market closed strong, with tech being the outperforming by a mile.

5m-chart SPY:



Daily charts DIA, SPY, QQQ and IWM:



Metals: first of all, a big sprint higher from silver. Gold and copper were also up, but only little compared to silver.
Oil keeps pulling back, a healthy move with recent gains in mind. When the market pulled back (only small) in the afternoon, oil lost 1.5% and stayed near the lows.
The euro dropped right after today's open, found support near yesterday's close and shot back up towards the previous highs.
