The S&P 500 continues climb and is just a few points away from a record

All is well that ends well.

It’s been an insane half-year in financial markets but there’s a fair chance that it ends the stocks at a record high. The S&P 500 is trading up 45 points to 6137, which is just 10 points from the February 19 record of 6147.

Materials and financials are leading the way higher today but it’s a broad rally. If there’s a red flag it’s that shares of Micron are down 2.4% after initially rising more than 5% on a strong earnings report late yesterday.
