Stock market indexes increased by at least 2.3% during last week. As discussed in the previous market review (s), we have been approaching the important resistances, which were mostly broken last week. Given that the stocks have bounced now from their lows into finally interesting price levels, are we already through the worst or is…
Last week did not move much the major financial markets keeping the indexes between their support and resistance levels. A super low unemployment of 3.9% reported last week adds a first positive element for the future rise of the US equities. The second positive element is that more than 80% of S&P companies reported their…
The major stock markets did not move much in the last week. A positive element of strong earnings mixed with a negative element of rising interest rates leads to a little change in percentage points. However, a trend analysis of the stock market’s big picture will definitely show a clearer picture. That’s what we’re gonna…
Financial markets have finished in positive territory on the last week. It seems like the market is slowly but certainly shaking off the worries about rhetoric announcements by Donald Trump and Xi Jinping that might result in a trade war. As indicated in a previous week’s market review there have been no tariffs imposed yet…

There are several reasons to blame: Trump putting tariffs on China, Facebook dropping and dragging tech stocks, Wednesday’s Federal Reserve decision or Trump’s lawyer resignation. While all of them look attractive to blame, none of them pose a systematic…
All the major indices finished slightly down on a week as also anticipated by last week’s market review.

Last Friday trading session recorded very heavy volume. This is an important…
The bulls have taken the stocks up by 3.5% on the last week. There was a positive mood among the traders with decreased volatility almost to pre-February levels.
