Fund Rankings Update, 2/23/2024

Weekly Average Momentum Index (AMI) rankings of HSA, SSPP, RSP, SELECT, ETF, iETF, and sETF have been posted on "Rankings", and "Trading Logs" pages, as well as in http://ycprankings.awardspace.us/RankingTables.htm.


Stocks surged ahead on the back of the strong earning reports from the AI chipmaker, NVIDIA.  On the economic data front, the initial jobless claims came in below expectation and S&P Global's purchasing managers’ indexes (PMIs) rose respectively to 51.5, the highest in 17 months.  The tight labor market and the strength of the economy have prompted the FED to take a wait-and-see stance in cutting interest rates.  For the week,  the S&P 500 index advanced 1.66% to 5088. The Dow Jones Industrial Average increased 1.3%, and the Nasdaq went up 1.4%.

The S&P 500 index continued to rally higher after taking a short pause last week. The deviation to its 28-week exponential moving average has grown back to 9.2%.   As the index continues to make new highs, it is difficult to estimate where the next resistance level will be.  Applying Fibonacci retracement suggests a potential resistance level at 5164.  However, uncertainty remains in the market's future trajectory.
