Before NYSE Session Open

Two trading days after the Brexit vote, the market spent some time brooding over the historic decision by British citizens to leave the European Union’s single market and the result was a mixture of profit taking and bottom feeding leading to a 35.55 point gain for S&P 500 on Tuesday, June 28th. The follow through continued overnight and the Asian markets and the European markets rose buoyed by the speculation that policy makers will mitigate the damage.
