[Art Collins]

Art's futures biases for July 8.

A "1" means bullish bias. A "-1" means bearish bias. The total is the sum of biases. A positive sum will be long bias. A negative sum will be a short bias. A sum of zero will be a neutral bias.

______________________________________________

The CzarCharts are saying that Thursday should see continued down action in the indices. The signals are also negative for bonds, which is interesting considering the two have been having an inverse relationship of late.
