The Markets
Stocks closed firmly higher on Wednesday as the upbeat sentiment that surrounds the Independence Day holiday fuelled another uptick to the summer rally timeframe. The S&P 500 Index closed with a gain of just over half of one percent, continuing to make progress above the short-term consolidation span that ranged from 5445 to 5500. Upside implications of the breakout are to 5555, or 1% above the breakout point. A bounce from levels around the 20-day moving average (5441) can be seen, further ingraining positive trends across multiple time horizons (short, intermediate, and long-term). Overbought conditions persist with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) back above 70 and MACD hovering in the upper quadrant of its historical range. Positive tendencies for stocks persist, on average, through to the 17th of July, following which investors will need to be on guard for the period of volatility for stocks that spans the remainder of the third quarter.
