It was another bullish week in US equities with stocks continuing their slow climb to new highs: In terms of relative strength, compared with other major asset classes, US equities again came in close to the top of the list, although long term treasury bonds (TLT) stole the show: Current holdings in the Rutherford Portfolio […]

US Equities hit new all-time highs again this week as the SPX (S&P 500 Index) continued in it’s upward trend: However, the index seemed to find resistance at the psychological 5500 “round” number level – so we will have to wait to see whether this level holds and we take a breather with a pullback […]

US equities, as measured by the performance of the S&P 500 Index (SPX), closed the week slightly lower than last week’s close after consolidating sideways for most of the week and battling with the 5500 resistance level.

Another bullish week in US Equity markets and another week with new all-time highs – the momentum continues: We finally broke through the ~5500 level in the SPX (S&P 5oo Index) that also corresponded to a ~50% extension of the prior (Nov 2023 – April 2024) bullish move from the lows of the mid-April pullback.

US Equities saw a (predictable?) pullback over the past week closing down ~2% from last week’s close: As suggested in last week’s post the 5680 level in the SPX (S&P 500 Index) proved to provided significant resistance and we bounced off this level and moved towards the lower boundary of the bullish regression channel. We […]

This week we saw a correction in the prices of US equities that has taken us down from highs at the ~5800 resistance level to the lower boundary of the bullish trend channel that started in April: Despite the 2-week pullback, we are still in a bullish trend channel and we wait to see whether […]
