“Higher” Respondent Answers:

• Earnings and Presidential speech
• Tariffs resolved
• earnings have been fair to good [ altho guidance down ]
• Fed Oil workers 3 Yr. agreement Trump’s move against OIL fr. venezuela should cause oil prices to rebound over the next 3 or 4 months. That should draw the mkt. up.
