Market Commentary Highlights...

• There are several reasons why this stock market rally may be more durable than those that preceded it in recent months.

• It is possible that the substantial developments in Europe are taking the fear of a repeat of the financial crisis of 2008 off the table and solid economic data in the United States is taking the fear of a double dip recession off the table.

• Other signs that this rally may be more durable include: global cyclical sector leadership, declining European “TED spread”, and the rising yield on the 10-year Treasury note.
