Summary

All six US equity indexes were net lower for the week

The R2K was powerfully lower, whilst the Dow and NYSE comp' were resilient.

The Dow broke a new historic high. 

All six US equity indexes are trading above their respective monthly 10MA, and have positive monthly momentum, as the m/t trend is bullish.
