Good MorningWith the nation on the brink of a major change, the stock market took a breather on Monday. Equities began the day moving higher but the gains were small and the impetus quickly faded. By the end of the session the S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrials, and NASDAQ Composite gave up most of the earlier gains to close higher by .50% to 1.50%.
The caveat for investors is that, while hopeful, Monday’s action was not bullish. The broad market S&P 500 is poised for a major correction that could be sparked by the results of the election. And if the election isn’t enough for the market to worry about the Q3 earnings cycle is still underway and there are important economic data at hand. Wednesday will bring the November FOMC meeting while later in the week is the all-important non-farm payroll report.
