Summary
So. a second day higher for sp'500, and the Thursday low of 1842 is now a clear 30pts lower. Although, in the grand scheme of things, that is barely 1.5%
Most notable today, the gains in the two leaders, with the Transports just 0.6% away from breaking a new historic high.
Despite the gains though, we do remain within the same range of the past four weeks.
