Weekend update - US equity indexes

It was a bullish week for US equity indexes, with net weekly gains ranging from +2.8% (Nasdaq comp'), +1.8% (Trans), +1.1% (Dow, NYSE comp'), to +1.0% (SPX).

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

sp'500

Nasdaq comp'

Dow

NYSE comp'

Trans


Summary

All five US equity indexes were significantly net higher for the week.

The Nasdaq comp' lead the way higher, with the SPX lagging.

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

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

Looking ahead

A very busy week is ahead, with a monster truckload of earnings, and more nonsense talk from the CEO of Print Central.

Final note

Suffice to add, with three new index historic highs, the crash calling lunatics would do well to crawl back into their basements... at least until Labor day is out of the way.

For more charts, and whatever else I want to post about - outside the control of the corrupt mainstream media hacks, you know where to find me in... the twilight zone.
