Weekend update - US equity indexes

It was a mixed week for US equity indexes, with net weekly changes ranging from +2.2% (Transports), +1.8% (Dow), +1.6% (NYSE comp'), +0.8% (SPX), to -2.1% (Nasdaq comp').

Lets take our regular look at five of the main US indexes.
For some perspective... monthly candle charts.

Nasdaq comp'


Dow


NYSE comp'

Trans


Summary

Four US equity indexes were net higher for the week, with one net lower.

The Transports saw very significant gains, whilst the Nasdaq was very significantly lower.

More broadly, all five indexes are comfortably trading about their respective monthly 10MA, and I thus see the m/t trend as bullish.
