Good MorningGlobal equities markets breathed a sigh of relief on Monday after President Trump signed the latest COVID-19 relief bill into law. The signing ended months of uncertainty and helped spur the S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average, and NASDAQ Composite to new all-time highs. The move also ushers in the so-called Santa Claus Rally and could lead to more new highs later in the week.
With COVID 19 relief on the way, the next big hurdle for the markets will be earnings. The fourth-quarter earnings reporting cycle begins in less than three weeks and could mark a turning point for the markets. Up until now, the outlook for earnings has been improving. If that situation changes for any reason global equities are more likely to fall than not. Until then, investors should stay focused on their investment goals and avoid knee-jerk reactions to market news.
