 It was another pretty quiet day in the markets. First, the scoreboard: - Dow: 15,567.7, +22.1, +0.1%
- S&P 500: 1,692.3, -3.1, -0.1%
- NASDAQ: 3,579.2, -21.1, -0.5%
And now, the top stories: - The stock market continues to sit right near its all-time high. The Dow inched up to an all-time closing high, and the S&P 500 hit an intraday high at the open. According to LPL Financial's Jeff Kleintop, this is the strongest bull market in the post-World War II period.
- Meanwhile, Bank of America Merrill Lynch says its big institutional clients have been dumping stocks like crazy. "Net sales by this group were the largest since March, and the sixth-largest in our data history (since 2008)," wrote BAML strategist Savita Subramanian in a note to clients. "And on a four-week week average basis, outflows by institutional clients are the largest in our data history."
- The FHFA's index of U.S. home prices climbed by just 0.7% in May, falling just shy of expectations for a 0.8% gain.
- The Richmond Fed's index of manufacturing activity in the central Atlantic unexpectedly dropped to -11 in July from +8 in June. Economists were looking for a reading of +7. The disappointment was largely due to a precipitous drop in the retail sales sub index, which fell to -22 from +1 a month ago.
- According to the Philly Fed's updated stats on coincident indicators, seven of the 50 united states are showing decreasing levels of economic activity. Furthermore, the April reading was revised down to 0.5% from an earlier reading of 0.7%.
