Weekend update - US equity indexes

It was a bullish week for US equity indexes, with net weekly gains ranging from +3.8% (Transports), +2.2% (Nasdaq comp'), +2.1% (NYSE comp'), +1.8% (SPX), to +1.6% (Dow, R2K).

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

Summary

All six US equity indexes saw net weekly gains.

The Transports lead the way upward, with the Dow and R2K lagging.

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