Good MorningStocks tried to rally right out of the gate on Monday but the move was short-lived. The S&P 500 topped out near 0.5% higher on the day then gave up all of the gains and more. While vaccine news continues to stoke hope, the rising number of COVID cases and widening lockdowns have the market on edge. What investors need to remember is that it will take months if not several quarters for enough doses of the vaccine to make full economic reopening a viable proposition.
The action on Monday was light but might be foreshadowing a deeper move to come. The high of the day was a hair short of the all-time high and a confirmation of resistance at the level. The question that needs to be answered now is if the market will pull back a little or a lot. With most major momentum indices pointing lower the odds of at least a little pullback are very high.
