It was another bad week for US Equities with indices down ~3% on the week and now down over 5.5% from the highs at the beginning of the month. It may be a little early to be drawing bearish channels. but since we closed outside the bullish channel last week and have seen a continuation […]

Although US equities closed up ~2.5% from last week’s close it was not a smooth ride – with a bounce from last week’s close early in the week to a retest of the ~5000 support level on Thursday and a jump back up on Friday. We remain in the tentative downtrend channel that started ~1 […]

US equities had another week of positive performance closing the week ~0.7% higher than last week’s close. However, again, it was not a smooth ride with major gains coming on a ~1% gap up on Friday: We are still sitting near the top boundary of a downtrend channel and could still see further weakness from […]

It was another bullish week in US equities with stocks ending ~1.8% higher than last week’s close: This resulted in prices closing slightly outside the upper boundary of the tentative downtrend channel and above the psychological “round” 5200 resistence level left by the April pullback – but not quite returning to the all-time highs.

It was not a good week for US Equities as the S&P 500 Index banged it’s head against the 5300 barrier all week and closed ~0.2% lower than last weeks close: Prices are still in an uptrend channel and sitting near the all-time highs. It will be interesting to see whether the “seasonal” bullish trend, […]

Apologies for being late with this week’s review, I had an emergency and had to go out of town for the weekend and only returned late last night. Last week was not a great week for US equities with the S&P Index closing the week down ~o.5% from last week’s close: Prices are now sitting […]

US Equities continued their upward climb hitting new all-time highs during the week and closing ~1% higher than last week’s close: This again places US Equities near the top of the performance list of major asset classes: Commodities (DBC) and Gold (GLD) fell from grace this past week. Current holdings in the Rutherford portfolio look […]
