S&P 500 Index - The Center of the World's Financial Solar System
The S&P 500 index posts a 2% weekly increase. This increase comes from the trade agreement between the United States and China. The Utilities sector and the Tehnology sector led this week's increase.
Some of SPY's technical indicators diverge from its price graph and this indicates a temporary fragility in its uptrend. Fundamentality, the SPY remains bullish.
