Good MorningThe equities market tried to extend the August rally on Monday but wasn’t able to hold the gains. The S&P 500 set a new all-time high in early trading but gave it up to close with a small loss. Even so, the broad-market index closed out the month with the best August gains since 1984. The question for traders now is what will happen when Wall Street goes back to work in September?
With equities trading at all-time highs and near-record valuations, it is all but certain some profit taking will take place. One possible catalyst is the August Non-farm payroll report. The report is expected to show another sizeable gain in employment and could be make-or-break news for the stock market. Until then investors are urged to keep some cash ready. If and when the market decides to pull back it’ll be another great time to load up on cheap stocks
