Good MorningThe week ended with a quiet day of trading on Friday. The major indices seesawed between gains and losses during the day but held within tight ranges. The rising number of COVID cases has the market on edge but a spark of hope remains in that the vaccine news is still good. There are two vaccines on track for emergency approval and could be available to front-line workers within the next two months.
Speaking from a trader’s perspective, the market is entering a lull between earnings reporting seasons. There won’t be much to move the market for the next 6 weeks other than economic data and political news and you can be sure it will spark some volatility. Next week is quiet except for Wednesday. There are nine major reports due out that day because of the Thanksgiving holiday. Investors and traders should expect light volume.
