Good MorningThe S&P 500 closed the day on Friday with a gain of 0.30% to end at another all-time closing high. The move was driven by a rise in optimism despite the rising number of COVID-19 cases but may be short-lived. While the index moved up to set a new closing high there is still resistance at the all-time intraday high. Until the market moves above that level bullish traders should be cautious.
Next week will bring another round of important economic data that could move the market. Topping the list is the monthly Non-Farm Payroll report and unemployment figures. The risk for the market is that an unexpected uptick in jobless claims in November may point to weaker than expected NFP numbers. Until then there is a raft of other data including the Fed’s Beige Book for investors to consider.
