It was a bullish week for US equity indexes, with net weekly gains ranging from +3.1% (Nasdaq comp'), +2.7% (SPX), +1.9% (Dow), +1.3% (NYSE comp'), to +1.1% (Transports).
Lets take our regular look at five of the main US indexes (monthly candle charts).

Summary
All five US equity indexes settled net higher for the week.
The Nasdaq comp' lead the way higher, whilst the Transports lagged.
The SPX, Dow, NYSE comp', and Transports broke new historic highs.
More broadly, all five indexes are sustainably above their respective monthly 10MA, and I thus see the m/t trend in all five as bullish.
