When I thought of the title for this post I was hoping to make a Nascar analogy, but quickly realized I don’t know anything about Nascar or racing. With that aside, what’s clear from our recent blog posts is that we remain bullish on US Equities but open-minded to the new data we’re getting each day. As I was going through my sector chartbook this weekend I identified a few momentum divergences that have emerged, as well as some bullish data points that potentially offset them, so this post will quickly go through my findings and key takeaways.
