It was a mixed performance on Wall Street overnight, with the US30 index weighed down by Boeing, the SPX500 flat and the Nas100 index eking out small gains.

  • The US30 index slid lower for a second consecutive day yesterday as production cuts at Boeing dragged the index lower
  • The 55-day moving average at 25,616 could be the next technical support point
  • US factory orders fell 0.5% m/m in February, less than the -0.6% forecasts had suggested. It’s another slow data day today, with a speech from Fed’s Clarida likely the main highlight.
