Good MorningThe markets got off to a solid start on Thursday with most major indexes up nearly a full percent at the high of the day. Better than expected earnings from Whirlpool, Tractor Supply Company, and AT&T helped lift sentiment as did a better-than-expected jobless claims report. The number of new jobless claims fell unexpectedly to a new low as hiring activity ramps up. The good news was spoiled, however, later in the day when President Biden announced a new tax plan.
In his new plan, President Biden will tax capital gains on wealthy individuals to nearly 40% in fulfillment of a campaign pledge. The news caused the markets to about-face and shed nearly 1.0% by the end of the session. If the market can’t shrug off this new development a much deeper correction could be in store. The risk now is that stock selling will accelerate on Friday and leave the index below its most recent support.
