Good MorningThe broad equities market staged a solid rebound on Tuesday following Monday’s late-day weakness. The market opted in favor of the ongoing economic rebound and the outlook for earnings following some bullish news about Apple. Sources from Japan say Apple’s orders for iPhone components for the first quarter of 2021 are 30% above the same time last year. Shares of Apple gained nearly 5.0% on the news to set a new three-month high.
In other news, the Industrial Production Index for November was reported on Tuesday. The index advanced 0.40% to beat the consensus of 0.20% as economic activity in the U.S. ramps higher. The next big gauge of the economy due out is the retail sales figures on Wednesday. It will be the last read on the economy before the FOMC meeting later in the day.
