Good MorningThe market saw its best up-week in months end quietly. Friday’s action saw the major indices trade within very tight ranges that point to potentially big moves next week. Friday’s action had the index in consolidation at new highs that could lead to a rally in the week ahead. The reason is simple, the U.S. elections split the government ensuring another two years of deadlock.
On the economic front, the October jobs report shows the U.S. is still rebounding strongly. The net number of new jobs came in well above expectations and just below the previous month’s figure. Along with that is a 1.0% improvement in unemployment that points to resilience within the underlying economy. Next week’s hurdle will be earnings, there are some key economic data points but nothing to move the market.
