Strong gains for August

All US equity indexes saw strong net monthly gains, with the sp'500 gaining 72pts (3.8%), having climbed from an early August low of 1904 to a new historic high of 2005. Outlook into September is bullish, with a primary target zone of 2030/50.

Summary

Unquestionably, it was a month for the equity bulls. Even the laggy R2K saw rather powerful gains of 4.8%.

With bullish engulfing candles on many of the monthly charts, the outlook for September is bullish.. at least to the 2020s, if not the 2030/50 zone.

For me, the only issue is whether the 2100s are coming, before some form of major intermediate correction (on the order of 15% or so). Right now, that is too hard to call, we'll have a much better idea by late September.

Goodnight from London
