June 30, 2006 Stock Market Recap

Given all that could have happened today with it being quarter-end and the Russell rebalancing its indices things were rather quiet. Although volume increased on many indices I think that was all due to the rebalancings. The Russell 2000 had a nice 1.45% gain today thanks to that rebalancing, even if all the gains came in the last 15 minutes of the session.

So the indices, excluding the Russell, were little changed today. Monday is one of those stoopid half-day sessions so I don’t expect much to happen then either. I’ll get back to trading and posting watchlists on Wednesday. Enjoy the break and the holiday.
