The Bottom Line<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

North American equity markets experienced substantial rotation last week:<\/b> Out of the technology sector and into other economic sensitive sectors such as Transportation, Banks and Biotech.<\/p>\n

Economic focus this week is on the June Core PCE Price Index released at 8:30 AM EDT on Friday. <\/b>Extension of a year-over-year downtrend by this Index will trigger renewed buying in North American equities. Consensus calls for a gain of 0.2% in June versus a gain of 0.1% in May, but a decline from a gain of 0.9% last June.<\/p>\n
