Meanwhile, estate management and retail REITS shares weighed in the Real Estate sector: CoStar Group -1.22%, Simon Property Group -1.76%.
  • The trend condition in S&P E-Minis remains bullish and the latest move lower appears to be a correction. Price action continues to highlight the fact that corrections are shallow - this is a bullish signal that highlights positive market sentiment. Support to watch is 5055.56, the 20-day EMA. A clear break of this average would signal potential for a deeper retracement towards 4942.66, the 50-day EMA. Sights are on 5170.86, a Fibonacci projection.
