Good MorningThe S&P 500 made a modest gain on Thursday to close out the holiday week with barely any movement at all. The broad market index appears to be waiting for its next cue and it could come at any time.The Dow Jones Industrial Average and NASDAQ Composite both closed in a similar position with all three trading at recently set all-time high levels.
Next week traders need to be on the lookout because the markets may not stay so quiet. The stimulus bill is headed to President Trump’s desk and there is still no indication if he’ll sign it. Even if he does sign it, the market could be faced with a sell-the-news event. Key events for the week that are not politically driven include the Chicago Purchasing Managers Index, Pending Home Sales, and initial jobless claims.
