By Andrew Nyquist    It doesn’t take 20-20 vision to see that the U.S. stock market is off to a good start in 2013. Similar to last year, the U.S. equity markets came out of the gates kicking up dirt and racing for higher ground. More impressive, the U.S. markets have done this in the face of choppy global financial markets.
Each and every dip has been bought, and with each tick higher, a few more bears capitulate. Yes, the rally is long in the tooth, and yes, “Sell in May” seasonality is nearing, but the market’s historic run to new all-time highs deserves our respect.
With that said, let’s take a year-to-date look across the global financial markets, in pictures… starting with the U.S. equity indices.
