U.S. markets traded higher for a third-straight session after showing late afternoon strength following first half weakness. The action remains slightly bullish as the major indexes continue to push near-term resistance levels.
The Nasdaq gained 0.5% after testing to an intraday high of 7,025 while closing back above the 7,000 level for the first time in four sessions. The Russell 2000 advanced 0.3% after testing a high of 1,494 while failing near-term resistance at 1,500.
The S&P 500 rose 0.3% after making a run to 2,668 but the lower high than Monday’s 2,672 print was a slightly bearish development. The Dow added 0.2% after trading up to 24,705 but remains over 1% away from clearing its 50-day moving average.
