Along with the S&P 500, the junk bond market made new bull market highs as well Monday. As shown below, the high yield bond ETF (HYG) had been trading in a very tight range over the past few weeks.

With both stocks and junk bonds making new highs today, the bull market up-trend has been confirmed once again, paving the way for another leg higher.
