Stock Market update -Jul 3rd

Happy 4th of July!

We saw a strong recovery rally after the Brexit selloff, which itself lasted only two days! But we also got a rally in Bonds and Gold -interesting, everything rallied! Lets see what the 3rd quarter brings as we get ready for earnings season again -could be a rocky one. We have been at this level in the S&P500 several times over the past 18 months but have not been able to break above it to new highs.
