As the holiday-shortened trading week begins, there is potential for a surprise in the financial world because money planet Venus squares Uranus on Sunday. Pay attention to the surprising financial issues that arise over the surrounding days because this is the first of three squares these two planets will make through the end of September. Monday night’s full moon in Capricorn puts a spotlight on stability, particularly for the United States because it opposes the country’s natal sun. Expect light trade on Monday, July 3 because the New York Stock Exchange will close early for the July 4 holiday, at 1 pm that day rather than 4 pm; it reopens at the regular time on July 5. Stock index markets at CME Group close at 1:15 pm on Monday, and will open as usual on Monday night for Wednesday’s trade date, with a five-hour trading halt beginning at 1 pm Tuesday.
