S&P To New Highs

We had another good week and the S&P500 is now 10,7% up YTD. Regarding the week ahead, it does not have a bad outlook.
- In the worst scenario it will be a period of consolidation

- Trade talks between US & China and Brexit remain a concern for traders
Both have deadlines in March and outcomes are expected to be positive which will boost the equity markets

- 3 main variables to bear in mind:
Trade talks between US and China - Expected to keep progressing
Brexit - Will be extended to reach a better negotiation and the markets are getting used to it
US Government Shutdown - Forecasted to disappear soon

Unless something bad occurs to these variables market should keep the bullish trend .
