Weekend update - US equity indexes

It was a bearish week for US equity indexes, with net weekly declines ranging from -4.1% (Trans), -3.4% (R2K), -2.6% (SPX), -2.5% (Nasdaq comp, Dow), to -2.0% (NYSE comp').

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

sp'500

Nasdaq comp'

Dow

R2K

NYSE comp'

Trans

Summary

All six US equity indexes were net lower for the week.

The two leaders - Trans & R2K, lead the way down, whilst the NYSE comp' was most resilient.

The SPX, Nasdaq comp', NYSE comp', and R2K have positive weekly momentum, whilst the Dow and Trans remain negative.

The SPX and Dow have bearish engulfing weekly candles, which are strongly suggestive of a lower low next week.
