April 30, 2006 - Brett Steenbarger

We tried to rally when early buying kept the market above its Friday lows, but even at the market peak, less than 400 stocks separated gainers from decliners. Then bonds started to fall, as oil prices continued to rise, and the NYSE TICK made a breakout low. Keeping an eye on interest rates, the dollar, and oil continues to pay off. ................
