Happy Monday Zingernation! Sometimes during Christmas, the market delivers presents through a Santa Claus rally. And then New Year’s gives us an opportunity for a fresh, new start with our portfolios. Now, some economists are calling for the market to deliver us some fireworks just in time for Fourth of July.

Basically: Commodities are modestly higher and bond yields are flat-lining. Global cues are mixed, with Asian stocks ending in a whimper, while the European markets were advancing. Here’s how experts are trading the sell off.
