Weekend update - US equity indexes

It was a bullish week for most US equity indexes, with net weekly changes ranging from +3.9% (Transports), +2.7% (Dow), +2.3% (NYSE comp'), +1.2% (SPX), to -1.5% (Nasdaq comp').

Lets take our regular look at five of the main US indexes (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 lead the way higher, with the Nasdaq lagging.

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

All five US equity indexes are trading above their respective monthly 10MA, and I thus see the m/t trend as bullish.

Looking ahead

A lighter week is ahead. The most important number will likely be CPI.
