Good MorningThe equities markets started the week on relatively firm footing although Monday trading was a bit mixed. The NASDAQ Composite led the day’s gains with an advance near 1.75% with tech in the lead. Shares of Apple, undisputed tech-leader, rose more than 3.0% with Microsoft and Amazon close behind. The S&P 500 gained more than 1.0% at the high of the day, also led by tech, with the blue chips and industrials lagging. The transports, notably, set a new intraday all-time high.
This week’s trading will center heavily on economic data. The Monday release of Existing Home Sales already disappointed the market and other data could too. On the list this week are important reads on Durables Goods Orders, PMI, Personal Income, Spending, and the all-important core consumer inflation on Friday. If the data doesn’t support the idea that economic reopening is accelerating the market could be in for a shock.
