The S&P 500 (INDEXSP:.INX) broke out to new all-time highs, finishing the week up 0.8%. But just as it appears the stock market is ready to blast off, traders would be wise to wait for follow through (a breadth thrust).
Crude oil was looking heavy early in the week but reversed course to test the upper band of its trading range. That’s one to keep an eye on. Will it ultimately break out? Or is it lacking demand?
Treasury yields also moved higher late in the week. Mark Newton’s research called this.
