SPX +47.68, 7,757, rallied to an all-time closing highClosed above 7,700 for a fourth day.  The SPX breakout on Tuesday joins DJI and RUT breakouts above June highs.  

Futures rallied immediately at 8:30 am ET this morning when a lower than expected Jobs Report was released, -23K jobs vs 88K estimate.  The narrative is that the Jobs Report perhaps delays the Fed from raising rates.  The CME Fed Watch tool showed the probability for a September hike fell today to 44.4% from 55.0% on Thursday. 

Breadth was positive as advancers led on both the NYSE and the NASDAQ exchanges.
