Weekend update - US equity indexes

It was a bullish week for US equity indexes, with net weekly gains ranging from +3.8% (Transports), 1.6% (SPX), +1.5% (NYSE comp'), +1.3% (Nasdaq comp'), +1.1% (Dow), +1.0% (R2K). Near term outlook offers a little cooling, before resuming upward.

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

NYSE comp'


R2K


Trans


Summary

All six US equity indexes saw net weekly gains.

The Transports lead the way higher, with the R2K lagging.

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

More broadly, all six indexes are holding 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 truck load of earnings. We'll also have the first print for Q3 GDP, and whilst it will likely show a growing economy, the rate of growth is itself slowing.
