Probably the most important event this past week for stocks was the Feb announcement on interest rates on Wednesday.

Stock Market Outlook – 3rd Week Of March 2016

The week started with the S&P opening around the 2020 level and trading there for the day. Tuesday saw the market pullback to an intraday low of 2005 but by Wednesday investors were bullish and moved the market back to the 2020 level. Shortly before the Fed announcement, investors sold the S&P lower to 2010 but within minutes of Fed Chair Janet Yellen’s comments, the S&P was at 2025. The following day investors pushed sellers aside and pushed the S&P to close on Thursday at 2040 slicing through resistance at the 2030 valuation.

Friday saw another push and a close at 2049.58 while intraday the S&P was above 2050 before the close. This ended the week with a gain of 13% since the February 11 low marking the best rally since October 2015 for the S&P.
