The S&P Retail Index (RLX - 975.8) is currently trading down 1.52 percent, or 15.1 points, and it is testing support at its ascending 20-day moving average. It will be key to see if this short-term trendline holds into the close today. The RLX has not closed a session below this trendline since December 8. Leading laggards in the index this morning are Dow components Wal-Mart Stores (WMT - 65-1/2) and Home Depot (HD - 63-7/16).

SP/H0

S&P Futures (SP/H0 - 1448.0) are now trading below the 1450 level, which acted as resistance in July and from mid-November through mid-December. This pullback has brought the futures down to their 10-week moving average, a trendline that has acted as support since late October.

Walt Disney (DIS - 29-7/8) was the focus of a brokerage upgrade from "neutral" to "outperform" this morning. Analysts have been slow to get on board the company's bandwagon, as 10 of 26 analysts currently have DIS as a "hold" rating. In recent weeks, the stock has creeped up to the January 30 strike, which is the site of about 25,000 calls and also marked the equity's August peak. It will be telling if DIS is able to shake off the early market weakness and break through this resistance. <

WORLD

Overseas markets took a beating last night, which seems to be weighing on stock futures in the pre-open trading. It seems that higher interest rates in the U.S. is a more disconcerting proposition for the rest of the world than for U.S. investors, who powered Nasdaq Composite (COMP - 4131.1) to another record high yesterday. Finland (HEXND - 13,721) is leading the way lower with its 10.5-percent decline. Amsterdam (AMIND - 642), France (CACND - 5666.3), and Sweeden (AFFND - 5171.2) are each lower by four percent or more. The German DAX (FRIND - 6528) is also taking it on the chin, as it is down about 3.3 percent.
