Good MorningThe broad market traded in a very tight range on Tuesday. After Monday’s big declines, investors and traders are holding their breath waiting to see what happens next. With the stimulus talks on the rocks the general attitude is “when will the other shoe hit the floor”. Adding to the woe is the rising number of COVID cases that have the U.S. setting new highs. If COVID continues to spread unchecked it could lead to another economic shutdown.
On the flip side, the economic data remains strong and belies the need for further economic stimulus except on a targeted basis. On the industrial front, new orders for durable goods rose 1.9% in September, driven by a massive decline in inventory across most industries. On the housing front, home prices continue to rise as pent up demand and low inventory fuel the market.
