NASDAQ Trends Higher Despite Geopolitical Uncertainty

I wish all my readers and subscribers a happy and safe memorial Day weekend.

The NASDAQ added 1.1% this week as the trade war with China appeared to be on hold, at least until the next policy reversal, and talks with North Korea were on, of and then on again, maybe. Markets were also satisfied that the minutes of the last FOMC meeting showed that rate hikes may not be as aggressive as feared and that the Fed may tolerate an inflation rate slightly above the target 2%.

The NASDAQ chart shows volatility has calmed as the index moved sideways with a slight upwards trend. Friday's volume was well below the 50 day average due to the pending 3-day weekend. Our market trend signals remain positive.
