Stock Market Weekly update -May 28th

 The Nasdaq100 led a big market rally again last week, fueled mostly by the huge spike in NVDA after reporting earnings, along with other AI related stocks which all rallied! Despite the huge Nasdaq100 rally, the DOW was actually down for the week, and Small-caps are near the lows for the year! 

This week's big event will be the Debt Ceiling talks, and maybe the monthly Jobs report on Friday. Markets are closed on Monday. A further S&P500 rally could take us to the next level of around 4300, the August high.


The Dollar rallied for a 3rd week, as Bonds dropped again, ahead of the Debt Ceiling resolution.

Debt-ceiling deal reached in principle by Biden and McCarthy, vote could come early next week

The long term 'weekly downtrend' from the January 2022 high in the SPX (weekly 20MA line) has  turned back up.  We've been chopping around in a range since  April 2022.  Less  likely now maybe, but this weekly trend could also eventually take us down to the pre-Covid highs of early 2020. The DOW & the Small-caps have already touched that level and rallied back up (see pics below). 
NYA (NYSE composite) & IWM (small-caps): -flat last week.
The Dollar -rallied for a 3rd week! 10yr Interest rate was up as well!

Stock Market Weekly update -Apr 20

  We saw lots of ‘chop’ last week, ending just below where we started, with tariff uncertainty still hanging over the market. The DOW lagged as it dumped on Thursday after UNH reported earnings. Long term rates pulled back a bit while Gold continued to rocket higher, closing near $3326. This week we get more earnings including GOOGL & TSLA,  04/06:  Hedging against losses… How? If you got ahead of the tariff announcement on Monday Mar 31st using an Inverse ETF like SQQQ (SPXS, SOXS, etc) , it was up approximately 30% that week! Note that Leveraged ETFs should only be used for short term trading.
