5/26 Morningline

Don't break out the champagne yet. Blue-chip stocks gapped up at the open and are trading more than 1% above Tuesday's close. But the move leaves prices within Monday's and last Thursday's and Friday's trading ranges, so no big deal.

The VIX -- the so-called "fear index" -- has dropped sharply and is showing bear phase on both the macd and on Persons' Proprietary Signal (pps). A bearish VIX is bullish for stocks.

The price of Treasury long-term bonds is down about half a percent (a lower bond price means higher interest rates).

The big gainers among my indicators are emerging markets and crude oil, both up about 1.7%.

Gold this morning shows bull phase on the pps.
