Weekend update - US equity indexes

It was a bullish week for US equity indexes, with net weekly gains ranging from +5.8% (Transports), +3.8% (Dow), +2.5% (Nasdaq comp'), to +2.4% (SPX, NYSE comp').

Lets take our regular look at five of the main US indexes (monthly candle charts, for some perspective).

Dow
NYSE comp'
Trans

Summary

All five of the US equity indexes settled net higher for the week.

The Transports lead the way higher, with the SPX and NYSE comp' a little laggy.

The Nasdaq comp' broke a new historic high.

All five indexes are currently trading above their respective monthly 10MA, with the m/t trend outright bullish.
