Last week finally saw the broad US market play a little catch-up to the ASX with the S&P500 testing its September high, albeit just.

- Following the recent consolidation, we still believe US stocks are set to rally through to Christmas but 4200 might be the limit for the S&P500 unless the aforementioned tech names can come back into favour.
