Levels

February Began With a Topsy-Turvy Week. The five major equity averages began the week negative, ended the
week neutral. Dow Utilities began the week positive but overbought, ended the week negative. U.S. Treasury yields
rose anticipation that the FOMC will raise rates in the second quarter. Gold could confirm a peak this week as crude
oil trades around my monthly pivot at $49.89. The dollar was mixed.
