Market Rally Analysis
The stock market rally is back with key technical tests and economic data on tap, along with uncertainty over China’s Covid policy.
The S&P 500 index is extending its pullback from below its 200-day moving average, but remains above its 21-day line. The Russell 2000, which dipped below its 200-day and 21-day lines on Monday, retreated above the 21-day.
The laggard Nasdaq fell below the 21-day line and is nearing the 50-day line.
The stocks of Apple, Tesla and other megacaps weighed on the Nasdaq index and the S&P 500.
The lowest value of the Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF in US dollars is in the annual table.
But don’t exaggerate Apple’s influence. Many major stocks are testing or falling below buy points or decent profits.
The silver lining is that the stock market doesn’t get caught up in Fed speeches and key economic data. This may mean that the market can jump if there are no negative surprises, with the potential for greater gains if future headlines are positive.
But the rally will do what it will do.
