It was another week of twists and turns, but by and large, the S&P 500 Index (INDEXSP:.INX) is stuck in a consolidation trading range. For the week, the major stock market index ended up 1.2%.
Much of the gains came on a positive reaction to back-to-back central bank announcements (Bank of Japan and the Federal Reserve). And when the Fed did exactly what traders thought, the market cheered. But that’s the M.O. of the market vs Fed relationship.
For now, we are watching to see if stocks can see some follow through to the upside. Other risk on/off indicators like crude oil, the VIX, and gold will also be on our radars.
This week we have some excellent research to browse through. Our top trading links this week include some education, trading ideas, news, and macro market indicators. Enjoy!
