Good MorningEquities rebounded on Thursday on strength in tech and dubious strength in the economic data. The tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite led the day with gains near 2.0% and may continue to lead the market higher on Friday. Shares of market-favorite were among the biggest gainers and up nearly 2.5% at the end of the day. The move could be a sign of bigger gains to come but there are still hurdles to overcome in the days ahead.
On the economic front, jobless claims continue to fall but at a very tepid rate. The latest report still shows upwards of 440,000 first-time weekly claims or more than double the pre-COVID level. Other data on Thursday was equally mixed. The Philly Fed’s MBOS shows expansion within the economy but activity slowed twice as fast as expected. If the data on Friday reveals equally tepid activity Thursday’s market gains could be reversed.
