Stocks Rally Further as Candle Pattern Points Up

EQUITIES
  • Equity markets traded solidly for a second session, with the S&P500 rising close to 1% to narrow the gap with the alltime high to just 40 points. Futures were similarly positive, with the e-mini S&P rallying sharply following the formation of a bullish Harami candle on Monday/Tuesday.
  • Energy and financials were behind the rally in US indices, rising sharply after being the distinct underperformers at the beginning of the week. Recovering oil prices (aided by a sharp draw in distillate reserves) buoyed oil & gas explorers while a re-steepening of the Treasury yield curve worked in favour of banks and lenders.
  • Volatile trade in stocks related to a post-pandemic recovery continued, with Carnival Cruiselines, Live Nation Entertainment and Host Hotels amongst the strongest in the S&P500. Mixed earnings for Netflix worked against the stock, which dropped 4%.
