Closing Brief

Another very quiet day in market land, with the headline indexes holding moderate gains of 0.4%. The Trans/R2K were red at times, but both also closed green. The Transports close in the 6400s is testament to the underlying power in this QE-pomo fuelled market.

Summary

A pretty dull day, but then that is to be expected in this new phase of algo-bot melt.

--
What is bemusing to me each day is seeing some of those I follow shorting into the current rally.

The issue I have is that the bears FAILED just last week, and we've seen a move from sp'1580 to 1630s, and they believe 'thats it'. Err, no, that makes no sense to me

The Transports weekly chart remains the big one, and I'm going to highlight it day in...day out, until it breaks below the up trend.

Anyone think we can't get a weekly close in the sp'1640s ?
