After weeks of consecutive declines, the markets finally saw a green light last week. 

Cboe Global Markets Inc. CBOE reported a price ascension in a number of international and local markets for the May 23-27 trading period. Specifically, the Nasdaq 100 Index, Russell 2000 Index and S&P 500 Index all reported increases last week as did European market proxies like Europe’s MSCI European and the United Kingdom’s iShares FTSE 100. 

Bharat Masrani’s Toronto-Dominion Bank TD wins chart of the week following a steady reaction to an earnings report that outperformed estimates. While the crypto market remains in decline, the rise in other markets has left investors wondering whether the market drawdown is coming to an end. Only time will tell whether that is the case. 

Finally, Cboe noted important upcoming earnings that may lift investors’ eyebrows in the following week.
