"we are still waiting to see about our CLF's asset purchase."

True but that was so three and more days ago and the sp was then going down.

Now it is rising and I am merely pointing out that odds are that this present rise is likely due to budget expectations.

It is not enough to know what is happening with sp but Why. Like news expectations also move it up or down. Knowing means possibly profiting from it. ( I also do short term trading in small amounts.)
