The TSX Composite Index added another 171.65 points last week. Its intermediate trend changed from down to up when the Index broke above resistance at 11,648.55 to reach a 13 month high. The Index remains above its 50 and 200 day moving averages. Support is at 10,745.25. MACD and RSI are short term overbought. Stochastics are short term overbought and showing early signs of rolling over. Strength relative to the S&P 500 Index remains negative, but may be showing early signs of changing. Seasonal influences currently are positive.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 41.68 points (0.46%) last week. Intermediate trend remains up. The Average remains above its 50 and 200 day moving averages. Strength relative to the S&P 500 Index is positive. Short term momentum indicators (MACD, RSI and Stochastics) are overbought. Stochastics are significantly overbought and showing early signs of rolling over. Seasonal influences currently are positive.

The Shanghai Composite Index added 120.70 points (3.79%). Intermediate trend remains up. The Index remains above its 50 and 200 day moving averages. Resistance is at 3,478.01. Short term momentum indicators (MACD, RSI and Stochastics) are overbought, but continue to trend higher. Strength relative to the S&P 500 Index remains positive.

The U.S. Dollar added 0.38 last week. Intermediate trend remains down. Once again, the Dollar is testing its 50 day moving average where resistance has consistently appeared during the past eight months. MACD, RSI and Stochastics are recovering from short term oversold levels. A move above its 50 day moving average currently at 76.00 likely will trigger a significant short covering rally. Next resistance is at 76.82. Should be a very interesting week!

The Canadian Dollar fell 1.61 last week. Intermediate trend remains up. Short term momentum indicators are trending lower from overbought levels. The Canuck Buck fell below its 50 day moving average last week. Support is indicated at 92.16

Silver resumed its intermediate trend last week on a break above resistance at $18.08. Strength relative to gold remains negative.

The Bottom Line
Equity markets continue to trend higher. Stick with the trend (particularly in sectors that benefit from favourable seasonal influences).
