Weekly Commentary
Trend Indicators Turn Positive; 68 breakouts with 6 > 5% Gain

Our trend indicators turned positive for the 3 major indexes on Tuesday, March 22. For the week the NASDAQ gained 2%. The S&P 500 was  close behind with a 1.8% gain while the DJI added just 0.3%. Also on Tuesday, the NASDAQ closed above its 200 day average for the first time since January 18. However, the NASDAQ's gains for the week were moderated on Friday when Citigroup forecast that the Fed will raise rates by 50 bps at the next four policy meetings, which would add 2% to interest rates over the next four months.
