Weekend update - US equity indexes

It was a very bullish week for US equity indexes, with net weekly gains ranging from +4.1% (Dow), +3.9% (Transports), +3.1% (Nasdaq comp'), +3.0% (NYSE comp'), to +2.6% (SPX).

Lets take our regular look at five of the main US indexes

Nasdaq comp'

Dow

NYSE comp'

Trans

Summary

All five US equity indexes settled net higher for the week.

The Dow lead the way higher, whilst the SPX lagged. 

The SPX, Dow, NYSE comp', and Transports broke new historic highs.

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

    Spring is near


Looking ahead

The schedule is pretty light. There will be a Fed meeting, which will no doubt capture considerable media attention.
