Good MorningEarnings from big tech were not enough to get the markets shooting higher on Friday. Blow-out reports from Apple and Google along with less-robust but still, better-than-expected reports from Facebook and Amazon failed to spark a major rally but the news is not all bad. Friday’s market action may have started off slow but by the end of the day, bullish momentum had the S&P 500 trading at the highs of the session.
The takeaway for investors and traders is this: the market did not want to be short going into the weekend. While not a guarantee of future results, it suggests a generally bullish attitude and an expectation the indices will begin moving higher in the coming days. The next major hurdle for the market will be next week's economic data. The key read will come on Friday with the non-farm payrolls report and there is a growing concern the labor markets have deteriorated over the last month.
