Stocks finished on a high note yet again with large-caps leading the way as SPY and QQQ hit new highs. IWM was down, but remains with a triangle breakout. The yield curves narrowed even further in late June and this was accompanied by new highs in oil. Short-term breadth is dragging, but long-term breadth remains strong with over 90% of S&P 500 stocks above their 200-day SMAs. Tech, Communication Services, Healthcare and Consumer Discretionary are the leading sectors. Banks continue to drag their feet and weigh on small-cap performance.
