Fund Rankings Update, 6/21/2024

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.


Stock markets hit new highs again this week, with value stocks leading the charge over the growth and tech stocks. Despite weaker consumer spending data, with May retail sales missing expectations, a positive surprise came from the manufacturing sector. The PMI unexpectedly rose to 51.7, indicating continued strength in manufacturing.  For the week, the S&P 500 gained 0.61% to close at 5464, the Dow Jones Industrial Average increased 1.45%, and the Nasdaq composite index remained flat.

The S&P 500 index dipped after briefly surpassing our target of 5500 on Thursday, closing lower for two straight days. Despite this short pullback, the index remains in a strong uptrend following a robust 9-week rally. It sits comfortably above its 28-week exponential moving average with strong upward momentum. We anticipate the index to maintain its overall upward trajectory, with potential periods of sideways consolidation.
