Daily Index Cycle update

US equities closed moderately higher, sp +7pts @ 2088 (intra low 2074). The two leaders - Trans/R2K, settled higher by 1.1% and 0.5% respectively. Near term outlook is very mixed, and will be dependent upon how the monthly jobs data is interpreted. Best guess... another rollover... before further upside.

Trans


Summary

*the sig' net daily gain for the Transports was interesting, but the Trans remains one of the weaker indexes, and still closed under the 200dma.

Little to add.

Despite the threat of another few days lower to sp'2040/30 zone... there is even higher threat of another major push higher into June. For now.. equity bears should remain extra cautious.
