✌️A Market Rally Two Years in the Making

Good morning. It's been over two years since the S&P 500 set a new all-time high in early 2022...

It's the monthly jobs numbers today and they're not going to be pretty and will be possibly the tip of the iceberg as we head into May.

Good morning. It's been over two years since the S&P 500 set a new all-time high in early 2022. But that changed on Friday. It was no sure thing. Friday's monthly option expiration saw over $7 trillion in notational value change hands. Typically, option expirations can be a case of the tail wagging the dog, and markets may see unusual moves on the day of options expiration itself. This month, stocks jumped higher rather than lower. With this monthly expiration out of the way, the S&P 500 stands to make new highs in the coming weeks. With the S&P 500 breaking over 4,800, it may have more room to run in the weeks ahead. Investors could then play a further rally higher in the coming weeks, although it will likely be at a slower pace than the November-December rally.
