Good MorningEquity markets got off to a good start on Monday despite the lapsing of enhanced unemployment benefits. The move, a gain of less than 1.0% for the S&P 500, was driven by hope a new stimulus deal could be reached and soon. The sticking point is the benefit enhancement itself, Democrats want to extend the $600 payment while Republicans think a smaller amount is in order.
Monday’s move in the stock market is positive for another reason. The S&P 500 moved up to set a new post-correction high as it extends its historic market melt-up. Later in the week, traders will be looking for additional fuel for the melt-up in the labor data. The non-farm payrolls report is due out on Friday and could easily spark the rally that takes the S&P 500 back to its previous all-time high. The risk is that job losses have accelerated, news that could send the market back into a tailspin.
