    The $SPX has been in a slow uptrend for the past six trading days.



    Moreover, since the 10Y rates are now down to 3.46%, money comes naturally back into equities which will not be overvalued before the $4200 level.



    Treasuries and small caps are still bought, indicating that investors expect rates NOT to climb from here.









    This situation benefits both large and small companies





    as well as growth stocks



    or even the perpetually indebted biotech companies





    Only the precious metals sector seems to be weakening here,



    while copper is in a strong uptrend



    The ratio of sectors on a short wait mode is now at 90%. This means that 90% of all the sectors that I monitor are in a buy mode for now. This indicates exuberance.

    Conclusions:

    Markets point to higher prices.
