The S&P 500 finished at 6,532.04, up 0.30%, continuing its push toward the record close of 6,555.97. The technical picture remains strong, with the index trading above its 50-day (6,370.42) and 200-day (5,978.10) moving averages.
Sector flows show a healthy mix of growth and defensives, with energy, healthcare, and utilities catching steady bids alongside core tech. With earnings season largely behind, attention is focused on macro inputs — particularly inflation and the Fed’s reaction function.
Outlook: Moderately Bullish. The index is in a strong position to break higher, with resistance at 6,555.97 in focus. Support sits near 6,370, with deeper risk contained unless CPI surprises significantly to the upside.
