S&P 500
Traders are beginning to question the strength of the economy. The WSJ just finished a survey of Q2 US growth and the consensus is 3.3%, which isn’t bad but it will come on the heels of a quarter of flat growth.
It means growth will be around 1.5-1.6% in the first half of the year — a year that was supposed to solidify the recovery.
USD/JPY is near the lows of the day at 101.50.
