Good MorningThe S&P 500 moved up to another closing all-time high in a day of lackluster trading. The market drifted higher after opening with a small loss to close near the high of the day. The move was led by the industrials after news Democratic leaders in the House and Senate backed a new bipartisan relief bill. The bill, worth $900 billion, is a watered-down version of what the market was hoping for and perhaps too little too late.
The economic data on Wednesday raised new questions about the health of the economic recovery. The ADP employment report came in at a much-weaker than expected 307,000 casting a pall on the labor market recovery. In other news, the Fed’s Beige Book shows economic expansion slowed across all reporting segments as the number of COVID cases was rising.
