Info!! Sector Update For May 31St

Last week's sector update concluded that nearly of the 8 S&P sectors that I rails weekly were lodged inwards a multi-week trading range, with neutral Technical Strength. With Friday's slow rally, nosotros returned toward the high terminate of the month-long trading range, together with many of the sectors displayed a resumption of their bullish trend.

Recall that Technical Strength for each of the sectors varies betwixt +500 (strong uptrend) together with -500 (strong downtrend), with values betwixt -100 together with +100 suggesting no meaning trend. Here's how the sectors shaped upwards later on Friday's close:

MATERIALS: +280
INDUSTRIAL: +140
CONSUMER DISCRETIONARY: +20
CONSUMER STAPLES: +180
ENERGY: +360
HEALTH CARE: +260
FINANCIAL: +160
TECHNOLOGY: +240

We tin strength out come across that, with the surge inwards commodity prices--particularly oil--energy stocks were quite rigid on the week, with meaning week-over-week strength alongside materials together with technology scientific discipline shares equally well. As I noted recently, consumer discretionary together with fiscal shares are lagging to only about grade together with select even then to amend their early on May highs.

Indeed, nearly of the sectors showed greater strength during the calendar week of May eighth than nearly recently; how nosotros follow through on Friday's strength early on this coming calendar week volition nation us a peachy bargain equally to whether we're on the threshold of a novel bull leg or setting upwards unconfirmed novel highs that volition hold upwards at direct chances of reversal.

I volition hold upwards paying item attending to novel 20-day highs vs. lows, together with volition hold upwards posting those to Twitter earlier each marketplace opened upwards (follow here). We should come across meaning expansion of novel highs if this is going to convey a novel bull leg; absent that expansion--and nosotros haven't seen it yet--I volition decease on to process this equally a broad attain marketplace defined yesteryear the highs together with lows of the yesteryear several weeks.
