And while JPMorgan ETFs global market strategist Samantha Azzarello agrees, she does doubt its sustainability.
"It’s like running on Red Bull, which you can not do forever," she told Cheddar in an interview Thursday.

"There's fatigue with this bull market, which is bizarre. We should feel good that the earnings growth is so good," she said.
