Good MorningStocks move higher again on Thursday buoyed by President Biden’s proposed $2 trillion infrastructure spending plan. The plan has already received heavy criticism from both sides of the Washington divide so it is unlikely to pass as written. The S&P 500 gained more than 1.0% at the high of the day but the real action was in tech. The tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite which has been lagging the market in recent months advanced more than 1.5% to set a new three-week high.
Although the market is closed for the Good Friday Holiday investor attention will be on the economic data. The NFP payrolls report is expected to show 700,000 new jobs were created in March and could move the markets next week. Next week earnings will come back in focus with the first reports of the Q1 season. The analysts have been raising their targets so expectations are high.
