Good MorningThe market got another jolt on Thursday when the Supreme Court ruled against Donald Trump. In a 7-2 decision, the court ruled that Trump must provide a copy of his financial information to the NY attorney general’s office. The decision casts another shadow over the incumbent’s election chances later this year and caused the market to sell-off. A Biden win is seen by most as a negative for the markets.
Thursday’s action was not all bad, however. On a technical basis, Thursday’s sell-off caused a retest of support that confirmed bullish sentiment still dominates the market. By the end of the day, the S&P 500 had reclaimed most of its losses after traders chalked the Supreme Court decision as another brick in the wall of worry. Earnings remain the biggest hurdle for the market. Next week things could get ugly. The peak of the earnings cycle begins with reports from the big banks. JP Morgan, Wells Fargo, and Citigroup all report before the open on Tuesday.
