STRATEGY: S&P 500 internals getting stronger --> tracking new highs before month end, led by Energy + Epicenter
It is increasingly obvious that going forward, the relative freedom of a nation's economy will follow the path of vaccine penetration. That is, nations with higher vaccine penetration are less likely to introduce disruptive lockdowns (stemming from flare ups of COVID-19) and presumably, these "freer" nations should have better economic visibility.

Compare these headlines:

- Guangzhou tightens COVID-19 controls and upgrades risk levels (more dangerous)
- Israel reports ZERO COVID-19 cases

China's economic recovery is strong and the above episode does not really risk this. However, those nations that managed COVID-19 primarily via lockdowns --> Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan, Australia, etc., are going to be grappling with periodic outbreaks. Moreover, given the transmissible variants leaking from India, we expect this "stop and halt" jerkiness to continue throughout the remainder of 2021.
