Last week showed a large surge in optimism which coincided nicely with a short term peak in US markets. This week optimism slipped but only a little - bulls down 4.7 to 42.6, bears down .07 to 37.5, still above historical averages. Given that US markets are short-term oversold & seasonals are favourable, it looks like gains are likely in the next week or so, but given the optimistic sentiment, they should be modest.
