U.S. stocks found their footing last week, finishing up a July to remember. The Dow popped nearly 3% while the S&P added 4.3% last week and the Nasdaq Composite rose 4.7% for the month. For the month, the S&P 500 rallied 9.1% while the Nasdaq popped in a 12.3% gain, recording one of the strongest months in the index's history. If that was a bear trap , it wasn't very convincing, as nine out of the 11 sectors in the S&P 500 all posted gains. If you want to get technical about it, the major indexes all found support for the time being, and we're starting to see some true breadth thrusts playing out across the stock market. A breadth thrust, my friends, is not a fencing move. It's a technical indicator that flashes when a large percentage of stocks make new short-term highs, driving their moving averages higher, with more of those stocks advancing rather than declining.

The recent gains led analysts at Bespoke Investment Group to declare on Thursday morning the Nasdaq had exited its recent bear market, even though the index remains down about 21 percent from its record high … [Read more...] about U.S. stock market: Is it a bull, a bear, or a bull in a bear?

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin This story is part of Forbes’ coverage of Philippines’ Richest 2022. See the full list here . The Philippines’ economy grew 8.3% in the first quarter of 2022, as domestic demand started recovering from pandemic headwinds. Newly elected president Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr., son of the former dictator, who was ousted in 1986, pledged to keep up the growth momentum.

- A + A HONG KONG (Aug 15): The decision by five Chinese state-owned companies to leave US stock exchanges adds to scepticism that authorities in both countries can reach an agreement on disclosure rules, with analysts seeing state-controlled airlines as the next potential group to depart, possibly followed by internet giants.
