Strong Market Performance Emanates From Continuing Themes

Monday, April 12, 2021 – U.S. equity markets
continued their strong performances last week including another, all-time closing
high for the S&P 500. Better than expected economic reports, most notably a
firmer than expected Producer Price Index and a better-than-expected March,
Non-Farm Payroll report, drove the positive equity markets’ activity,
reinforcing investor expectations for a robust and comprehensive economic
recovery.

The confluence of recent themes such as the accelerating
distribution of Covid vaccinations, the potential positive impact of the Biden
Administration’s economic relief policies and a supportive Fed remain
constructive dynamics for U.S. equity prices. On the interest rate front, the
yield on the closely watched 10 Year U.S. Treasury Note remained in a tight
trading range that landed on 1.66% at the end of the week, slightly down from
recent weeks’ yield.

For the week, the DJIA gained 647.39 to 33,800.60, the
S&P 500 reached an all-time high gaining 108.93 points to close the week at
4,128.80 and the Nasdaq picked up 420.08 points to close the week at 13,900.19.
