The table was set for a market correction. Stocks were dropping into early July and market breadth was deteriorating by the day. Falling commodities and recovering bonds only added to concerns. But U.S. equities held a key technical level (2040) and remained resilient  By month’s end, the S&P 500 had gained 2 percent.
That up and down action pretty much sums up 2015. It’s been a rangebound market that has been on the brink for much of the year. But these observations only scratch the surface. The markets are vast and offer several opportunities daily for active investors. Throughout the month our cast of contributors captured much of the market action (and opportunities) on See It Market.
