All eleven S&P 500 sectors were higher for the week, but Communication Services stumbled throughout the week under pressure from SNAP’s (SNAP) earnings and Facebook’s (FB) controversy.  FB earnings report after the close should add clarity. On Friday, the Financials were the clear leader.

Pit Stop?

The S&P 500 closed at a new high, but the chart is still in double top territory.  This is a bearish formation should the index begin to slide from here. And there is a lot of room down to the 50-day moving average.

Portfolio Approach

There are no weighting changes to our Hotline Model Portfolio this morning.


Today’s Session

There is lots of inflation that is lasting longer.  It is a guessing game on the Fed’s action, coupled with another week-long wait for that spending package, and a ton of high profiles earnings, which means this could be a wild week.
