Good MorningThe equities market rebound from Tuesday’s sell-off on Wednesday and continue to hover near the freshly set all-time high. Although positive, traders and investors should not read too much into the move because of light trading volume and holiday market conditions. The S&P 500 gained less than 0.25% on an intraday basis and held within a very tight 13-point range all session. The real test for the market will come next week and the first trading day of the New Year.
Looking to next week and the first trading day of the New Year there are several things that could move the market. The number one is COVID-19. The spread of COVID-19 accelerated over the holiday and is sparking a growing round of shutdowns. While less severe than those put in place earlier in the year the new shutdowns will have an impact on the economic recovery and corporate earnings.
