Good MorningThe market proved its resilience on Tuesday with most major indices gaining at least 2.25% by the end of the day. The advance was led by the blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial average but all major indices were within a close range. The bad news is that the indices did not regain the upper side of their short-term moving averages which means bears are still in control of the market. Things may look a lot different on Wednesday with the results (or lack of results) from the 2020 presidential election.
Election results aside, the two most important events of the week are still to come. The FOMC meets on Wednesday and could change the tone of the recovery. If the committee is too cautious or sees risks mounting the market could react negatively. Likewise, the non-farm payrolls report is due Friday and may also disappoint the market.
