US Markets Wrap: Breaking 7,000 - What the Rally Is Really Telling Us

About this episode

Mark Newton discusses the implications of the S&P 500 surpassing 7,000 and the momentum in the Nasdaq amidst geopolitical tensions.

Wall Street is celebrating historic highs as optimism over a potential resolution to the Iran conflict pushes the S&P 500 past the 7,000 mark. The Nasdaq is also riding a massive wave of momentum by notching its longest winning streak since 2009. Mark Newton, Managing Director & Global Head of Technical Strategy, F undstrat Global Advisors, dissect what the charts are really saying about this record-breaking rally. He explains whether the tech-heavy momentum is dangerously overextended and reveals if the underlying market breadth actually supports a longer run. We also explore the key technical support levels to watch if upcoming geopolitical talks stumble and discuss exactly how investors should position their portfolios to navigate potential macroeconomic headwinds.
