U.S. stocks opened up this morning and have been rising slowly. Major indices rose by an average of about 0.2%.
After two days of sharp drop, U.S.  stocks are rebounding.  Better than expected Alcoa (AA) earning and calm European markets helped. Technically,  Dow, S & P 500 and Nasdaq were able to hold their 20-day moving average support yesterday. These levels are 16886,1958 and 4381 respectively. Technically the stock market trend is still up. It will be a buy signal if the Dow can regain 17,000 level.  Analysts are generally optimistic on the second quarter corporate earnings and this is should bode well for the market. Minutes of the Fed's June meeting will be released at 11:00AM Pacific time today. This will likely cause market volatility and possibly a trigger for rally.
