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

SPY +0.14%
BND -0.23%

TECHNICAL ANALYSIS:
SPY price appears to be trending upwards.

BND price appears to be trending upwards with the possibility of near-term price consolidation. Looking back to early September, BND prices have begun to consolidate in range-bound trading.

SENTIMENT:
Market participant sentiment was mixed last week, as equity participants waffled between a glass-half-full and a glass-half-empty perspective.

ECONOMY AND FUNDAMENTALS:
Economic fundamentals remain positive, with data suggesting the U.S. economy remains resilient. The Federal Reserve appears to be acting appropriately with two goals in mind: to keep inflation under control and support real economic activity.

All the best during the week ahead!
