Stock Market Commentary<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Inflation grabbed the headlines last week, but market breadth was just as important for the stock market. With financial markets initially feeling good about the CPI report<\/a>, buyers rushed for laggard stocks and created a market breadth revival for two days. The abrupt sentiment shift nearly eliminated all my concerns about a bearish divergence between waning market breadth and an S&P 500 melting higher<\/a>. A “surprising” surge in the Producer Price Index (PPI)<\/a> deflated the CPI euphoria and stopped the market breadth surge in its tracks. The net result for the week was still fresh bullish momentum for the stock market as a whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
