Afternoon Note

All sectors are in the green led by Technology and Communication Services.
Advancers are outpacing decliners by a 6:1 margin at the NYSE and nearly 3:1 at the Nasdaq.

There is major test for the market next week: inflation data. It seems lots of speculators are positioning ahead of the CPI print.
Have a great weekend.
