Weekend update - US equity indexes

It was a bullish week for US equity indexes, with net weekly gains ranging from +8.3% (Trans), +8.2% (Nasdaq comp'), +6.2% (SPX), +5.5% (Dow), to +5.4% (NYSE comp', R2K).

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

Nasdaq comp'

Dow

R2K

NYSE comp'

Trans

Summary

All six US equity indexes settled net higher for the week.

The Transports and Nasdaq comp' lead the way higher.

More broadly, the five US equity indexes are still trading below their respective monthly 10MA, the exception is the Transports.

Looking ahead

The schedule is pretty light, and that will give the market time to focus on geo-political issues, and the grander problem of the broken global supply chain and associated rising inflation.
