Good MorningA rebound in equities gained momentum on Monday with a 1.65% increase for the S&P 500. Despite the gains, however, the index is on track to close out the month with losses but that’s not what the market is focusing on. The 3rd quarter earnings cycle is getting underway and the first signs are good. This week’s earnings calendar is a little light but includes some key names in the consumer staples sector.
Adding to the market’s bullish attitude is news that negotiators on Capitol Hill are working hard to pass another stimulus bill. Based on the byplay, the Democrats are still asking for too much but it looks like Republicans and Democrats are getting closer to an agreement. Another round of stimulus is likely to include another round of direct payments, payments that helped spur what we now know to be a vigorous economic rebound.
