After the big 50-point Friday-Monday rally, we aren’t surprised to see some sideways action yesterday. With Twitter rumors about Iraq and tension in Gaza and Ukraine, traders found plenty of reason to both rally and sell off in dramatic fashion. 

Today’s large number of economic reports will give traders plenty to mull over. While there’s still a chance of global tensions causing another big drop, we see that statistically the rest of the August expiration week tends to send the market higher. The Monday after expiration week tends to be down however, 20 of the last 30 years. (see below)

HIGH: 1935.70 Early
LOW: 1924.00 Mid-Day
LAST: 1930.50 DOWN 2.10 Handles
TOTAL VOLUME: 1.2mil minis; 2.5k bigs
MOC: SELL $600mil
