The S&P 500 is in a calm uptrend, above its 200-day average, and the engine's correction-risk gauge reads low. Breadth: 23% of S&P 500 stocks trade above their 50-day average (297 rose and 203 fell on the day), so the advance is narrow. The index trades at 22.7 times trailing earnings; its earnings yield is 0.88 points below the 10-year Treasury. On the model's Sector Pulse, Information Technology gained the most this week (+2 to 53) and Utilities lost the most (-3 to 77). Over three months the S&P 500 is +2.8% while its average stock is -2.1%: a handful of large companies are carrying the index.
