Good MorningThe equities market started the week on positive footing rising nearly 1.0% in early-week action. Despite a lack of news or economic data, the expectation that 2nd quarter earnings are going to be better than expected continues to support the market. This week marks the beginning of peak season so be sure to expect some volatility if nothing else. Regarding economic data, there is very little on the calendar for investors to be wary of.
On a technical basis, Monday’s price action is very bullish because of one reason; the S&P broke above recent resistance to set a new post-correction high. The move suggests that bulls are still in control of what is fast-becoming an historic market melt-up. Assuming there are no major surprises in this week’s earnings or data investors should expect the S&P 500 to retest its all-time highs in a matter of weeks.
