Stock Market Outlook: Technical Indicators Review

Stock Market Outlook for Fri Jun 14 2024 

For Friday the rally is narrowing daily which means at some point the index will slip lower to find buyers. Friday looks weak but perhaps not weak enough to see the index closed below 5400.

The CPI numbers came in lower than expected which helped stocks on Thursday. Friday though has no such number for stocks to rely on. A negative close is possible for Friday.
