Good MorningThe S&P 500 made a move above its pre-COVID all-time high on Friday. The move was driven by a round of better than expected economic data that paint a bright picture for the U.S. economy. The data includes flash readings on the Manufacturing and Services sector, readings that both show a marked acceleration in economic activity.
In the technical sense, although Friday’s price action was bullish and set a new all-time high it still leaves a lot to be desired. The price action closed at the high of the day but the candle was small and breadth is weak. If there is no follow-through on Monday, the markets could be in for another week of sideways trading, at best. Looking to next week, there are two potential catalysts in the 2nd quarter GDP revision and Friday’s release of the Personal Income and Spending figures.
