PRICE ACTION:
Equity prices, as measured by the ticker SPY, and bond prices, as measured by the ticker BND, closed higher last week.

SPY +1.18%
BND +1.39%

TECHNICAL ANALYSIS:
SPY price appears established in an upward trend.

BND price appears established in an upward trend.

SENTIMENT:
Equity investor sentiment was positive on strong tech company earnings and the easing of treasury yields.

ECONOMY AND FUNDAMENTALS:
Throughout the tightening cycle, jobless claims have never indicated a recession by our measure. We will continue to monitor weekly jobless claims closely.

Market participants should be on the lookout for recessionary conditions following the first rate cut after a tightening cycle. Thus far, the Federal Reserve has managed the economic cycle well.

All the best during the week ahead!
