What you need to know today
The bears have gone into hibernation and the bulls are charging in. Or so they say.The $S&P 500 Index(.SPX.US$ inched up 0.11%, the $Dow Jones Industrial Average(.DJI.US$ added 0.13% and the $Nasdaq Composite Index(.IXIC.US$ climbed 0.16%. Those don't sound like impressive numbers (though any gain should be celebrated), but when viewed against a longer timeframe, they reveal a striking upward trend.
Friday's gain gave the Nasdaq its seventh consecutive winning week, a feat not seen since November 2019. The tech-heavy index was juiced by $Tesla(TSLA.US$ 's 4% jump — its 11th straight positive day — after General Motors announced it would use the electric vehicle company's charging network. The S&P had four straight weeks of gains, but more significantly, it's up 20% from its October low. Bank of America technical strategist Stephen Suttmeier even thinks the S&P could shoot up to 5,000 by June next year.
