Welcome to Momentum Monday.
In Australia last week, a systems telecommunications failure which locked down many businesses and consumers, and a cyber hack at a major stevedore company keeping shipping containers locked away, shows us how critical infrastructure needs to flow for our economy to work smoothly.
These events are not expected to have lasting effects, though it reminds how connected our economy has become on infrastructure’s smooth operation. Ultimately the strength of an economy is a key support to our businesses so the latest events highlight risks that will need to be better managed.

However I find it useful in helping us determine how aggressive/cautious traders should be in their trading. In short the more positive the broader market is the more risks you can take and vice versa.
US / S&P500
