S&P 500 — Bullish Medium/Long-Term OutlookUSA S&P 500 IndexICMARKETS:US500Leox_MarketsMy overall narrative on the S&P 500 remains bullish in the medium and long term. Strong corporate earnings continue to support the market, with Q2 S&P 500 earnings showing significant YoY growth and AI/technology investment remaining one of the main drivers of the expansion. The index also remains close to record levels despite volatility in bonds and commodities. COT positioning supports the longer-term bullish thesis. Asset Managers remain strongly net long at roughly +950K contracts, while Leveraged Funds remain net short but have recently reduced their bearish exposure by about 47K contracts. Short term, rising Treasury yields, higher oil prices and a more hawkish Fed remain risks and could create consolidation or a deeper pullback.
