Stock Market update Jul 19

It was kind of a flat week for the SPX with a drop on Monday followed by a recovery. The Nasdaq 100 however didn't recover from that drop, while the Small Caps (IWM) recovered and then went even higher -crazy divergence in these markets. The SPX is now back up to the prior top we saw around Jun 8th-we'll see if it can take out that high.  NFLX dropped after reporting earnings. And Covid cases continue to increase. 

This week we get more earnings which will probably guide market direction. Last week we got the big banks, all with good reports except for Wells Fargo.

What was down this week: NFLX -big tech saw a reversal on Monday

Stock Market update -Jul 05

We got a nice rally this week, taking us up to the top of the recent range, and within a short distance of the gap from a few weeks ago near 3200. The Jobs report still shows a massive unemployment level (around 20 million), but the market celebrated with a big rally, as the data was better than expected?? We also are seeing huge increases in Coronavirus cases as well, but the market doesn't seem to care.


What was up this week: AMZN, SHOP, TSLA, and more
Gold could be set for a breakout from the recent trading range.
