Good MorningThe broad S&P 500 index advanced another 2.0% on Thursday bringing the rally to four days. The move is seemingly inexplicable with so much uncertainty in the air but may come down to one thing. Where the market is concerned, a Biden victory and Republican senate is the best-case scenario for the economy. With this outcome, it is all but assured there will be no major changes at the Federal level until after the mid-term election cycle at least.
In other news, the FOMC decided to hold interest unchanged and made no move to alter existing stimulus efforts. Fed Cheif Jerome Powell says the economy is rebounding but still well below the pre-COVID levels. He says the committee is closely watching the data and is prepared to act if needed. In his word, the Fed is not out of ammunition yet.
