Discussion – 

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

TECHNICAL ANALYSIS:
SPY rose sharply during the week, suggesting equities remain in an upward trend.

BND price gapped higher to open the week but closed slightly lower than the week’s open. BND price appears to be remaining in wide-ranging consolidation.

SENTIMENT:
Market participant sentiment might be considered optimistic.

ECONOMY AND FUNDAMENTALS:
Economic indicators within the Market Notebook remain mixed.

Jobless claims are to be watched as a key indicator of a potential recession. Thus far, jobless claims are not indicative of a near-term recession.

All the best during the week ahead!
