Weekly Market Summary – The Fat Pitch

The long term trend in US equities remains firmly higher. Expectations should be for equities to rise in the months ahead. The near term directional edge is more muted. Worldwide, equities are in the process of retesting their February lows. The US is being held up mostly by technology and financial stocks. Whether the US follows the rest of the world lower is largely dependent on politics: specifically, whether trade war rhetoric evolves from saber rattling to reality. March and the upcoming OpX week are a strong seasonal tailwind.
