Good MorningThe equity market hovered in a tight range near break-even levels on Thursday as traders digested a better than expected jobless claims report. The weekly total of new jobless claims fell below 1 million for the first time since the U.S. shut-downs started and points to strengthening within the labor market. With employment on the rise, traders are wondering what exactly will happen once the S&P 500 reaches its all-time high.
The real question investors need to be asking is going to happen with the next round of stimulus. The market is at its current level because there is an expectation the next round will come. If it doesn’t, the S&P 500 could easily move down to retest support and possibly as deep as the March low. If it does come and doesn't meet the market's expectation it could also spark another correction.
