Stock Market update Jul 28th

We saw a nice rally this week taking us to all time highs once again, above the 3000 level on the SPX. The small-cap index is the only one still lagging. Earnings have been good for most companies so far. Next week we get AAPL, the big Oil companies, and others...

We also get the much anticipated Fed interest rate announcement, with an expected cut of .25pct in rates.

Stock Market update Jul 7th

The market was up this week, with the S&P futures hitting the 3000 level then pulling back after a good  jobs report. Bonds continue to hold up at these lofty levels. Gold is having trouble holding above 1400.
We could see a further rally to finally close above the 3000 level, followed by another pullback at some point. Upcoming earnings season will also guide markets in the coming weeks, along with actions from the Fed in July.
