PHILLIP SUMMARY

U.S. stocks eked out another round of records Monday, after closing at all-time highs last week, as investors digested second-quarter results from Citigroup and awaited a wave of second-quarter earnings.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 27.13 points, or 0.1%, to set a new closing record of 27,359.16, the S&P 500 index added 0.53 point, or less than 0.1%, to end at 3,014.30. The Nasdaq Composite Index rose 14.04 points to reach 8,258.19, a 0.2% increase. All three major indexes scored intraday records in early activity, turned lower and then edged back into positive territory in late trade.

Citigroup Inc. said its second-quarter income rose 7% from a year ago, with profit at $4.8 billion, up from $4.49 billion a year ago and earnings come in at a better-than-expected $1.95, compared against consensus analysts’ expectations for $1.81 a share.

Ford Motor

Recommended Action: Technical LONG

Ford Motor’s bullish rise since the start of Jan 2019 has hit some flats recently. However, based on the technicals, Ford may be breaking new highs again for 2019.
