The Markets

Stocks continued to claw their way out of the hole that was dug to start the week, posting another session of solid gains.  The S&P 500 Index closed higher by around one percent, supported by communications services, which got a lift from strong earnings from Snap.  The benchmark broke above the previous peak charted in the middle of July around 4393 to set a new record intraday and closing high.  Support remains intact at the rising 50-day moving average, keeping the intermediate path of higher-highs and higher-lows alive.  The limits of the rising trend channel continue to be seen around 4275 and 4475.
