The S&P 500 was basically unchanged last week, rising 0.02%. The index's last three weekly closes are 4,185.47, 4,180.17 and 4,181.17, so we've been sprinting in place the last two weeks. We turn the page to May wondering if a two-week trading range is enough to refresh the S&P 500's advance, or if the index will face a bout of selling pressure in the month that goes by the moniker "sell in May and go away"?
The S&P 500 gained 1.14% this week with Thursday's close at 4,019.87. Thursday's close is a new all-time high daily and weekly close for the index. The primary trend is up, or "bullish", and both the technical and fundamental picture suggest higher prices lie ahead. Have a read!
