Epic Research Singapore : Nikkei 225 Index Update

Japan stocks declined today — or maybe better to say they “reclined,” given the lazy, meandering path shares took.

The Nikkei Average is ending with a 0.3% loss, better than a 0.6% deficit early in the session, but down nonetheless after the index briefly turned positive at midday. The Topix fared worse, losing 0.7%.

Epic Research Singapore : S&P Market News Update

It’s been a tough January and February, but forecasts suggest March and April should be better.

March and April have been the S&P 500’s two best months over the past two decades, says Ryan Detrick, senior technical strategist at Schaeffer’s Investment Research.

There’s no guarantee that this historical trend will hold in 2014, but it does offer some solace for stock bulls. While the S&P 500 SP SPX +0.00% has run into resistance this week as it’s neared its Jan. 15 record close, perhaps that resistance will melt away as March begins.
