Summary

Yesterday saw equities power upward across the day, with the SPX just 10pts shy of the 7620 historic high. S/t momentum settled on the very high side.

Overnight futures have been leaning on the upward side, partly helped by other markets, and also further earnings from PLTR and CAT.

As things are, the SPX is set to open +25pts or so… we’re set to break a new hist’ high, which will make it a net bullish week/month.
