Good MorningThe major indices continued to advance on Thursday extending the rebound in the broad market S&P 500 to a one-month high. The action was led by the S&P 500 with an advance near 0.75% and closed near the highs of the session. Trading was buoyed by hopes for a stimulus package despite the growing impasse in Washington. The market assumes a bill will be passed, the only questions are when and which side will get the credit for it.
Next week could be a volatile one for traders. Not only is Friday the first options expiration of the 4th quarter but the peak of 3rd quarter earnings season kicks off with reports from some key names including many of the biggest banks. If the results or outlook don’t jibe with what the markets want we could see the indices begin to top out again. Until then, the forecast for the reporting season is good.
