Good MorningEquity markets are set to continue rising this week. The news-driven melt-up is on track to put the S&P 500 back at its all-time high by Friday. The question is whether the index can move up to set a new high and sustain it, a signal that the rally can continue or not. If not, this market will remain range-bound until well into the 3rd quarter when the 2nd quarter earnings reports are released. If so, this market could continue advancing and potentially increase to 6,800 by the end of summer.
This week's catalysts include earnings reports from retailers and economic data. The earnings reports include Lowe's, TJX Companies, and Target, which is likely to be a laggard. The economic data includes readings on Leading Indicators and jobless claims. The latest jobless claims data suggest the labor market is healthy; any change to that outlook could lead the index into a significant sell-off, regardless of other news.
