S&P 500 Emini Day Trading Gap Friday January 15, 2010

S&P Emini 500 Futures traded the day in a narrow range with below average volume.  Perhaps traders were awaiting the Intel results which reported above expectations after the market closed.  Initial after hours trading on the Emini indicated a positive response to the Intel report.  Tomorrow morning pre market  economic reports that are customarily high impact, may mitigate the good news from Intel.  Friday is also options expiration, which often lends a bullish influence to the market.  Finally, tomorrow leads into a long weekend for the market.  Markets are closed Monday for Martin Luther King Day.  Expect Friday afternoon's trading to be light.  Most of the institutional traders have already left the building by early afternoon.
