Dow Jones and SP 500 futures: Stock market rally
|The Dow Jones futures are trading modestly lower and are down by 100 points. There is still a lot of optimism among investors, and the current weakness is nothing more than a pause.
The DJIA index is in battle with the 200-day simple moving average on a daily chart. Yes, the Dow Jones index closed above this important moving average yesterday, but bulls need to make sure that the DJIA index remains above this moving average. If we fail to have another positive strong close today, the Dow Jones price may begin its consolidation once again.
The S&P 500 futures shows that there is a lot of bull power as the S&P 500 index has already scored a higher high this week in comparison to last week's S&P 500 index price. The S&P 500 futures are trading above all the important 50, 100, and 200-day simple moving averages on a weekly time frame, and this means that bulls are in strong control of the price.
Stock Market Rally
The S&P500 index clinched another day of gains and closed higher with a gain of 1.59% gains. Except for the utility sector, all the sectors closed in positive territory. The consumer discretionary and communication sectors led the gains for the S&P 500 stock index.
