2. Today
By Marc Chandler

The dollar is weaker in the last day of the second quarter. The British pound set an eight-month high overnight. The euro is faring better against both, while the Australian dollar is one of the top performers. The yen is flat after a choppy session.

Equities are mixed, with the Nikkei up and European bourses modestly lower in morning trading. The U.S. should open positive.

Bond markets are mixed after giving up ground in the second quarter. Japan's yield is down 4 basis points, while euro bonds are up 1 to 3 basis points.

No positions.

3. Case-Shiller
By Tom Graff

I don't think the month-by-month reading on Case-Shiller tells us much. While I believe Case-Shiller probably has the best methodology, measuring aggregate home price changes is fraught with statistical problems. Case-Shiller does a great job in giving us the general trend, but if the reading comes out 1% higher or 1% lower than the expectation, I wouldn't read a darn thing into that.

No positions.
