Technical Action by Individual Equities
Yesterday

Technical action by S&P 500 stocks remained bullish.
Sixteen S&P 500 stocks broke resistance and two broke
support (Flowserve and Raytheon). Much of the action was
related to release of quarterly results (e.g. Zimmer,
AmeriSource Bergen, Freeport McMoran Copper & Gold,
SouthWest Air).

Among TSX 60 stocks, CGI Group broke above resistance on
higher volume.
