Good MorningThe S&P 500 moved up to set a new all-time high on Thursday gaining about a half percent by the end of the session. The market is getting a lift from growing optimism for earnings and the outlook for economic reopening. The gains were led by the tech sector and Apple which advanced nearly 2.0% to a 6-week high.
Action on Thursday was tempered by the economic data. The weekly unemployment insurance claims fell less than expected leaving the total number of unemployed largely unchanged from the previous week. The data is in contrast to the March NFP and JOLTs report which indicates robust hiring and job availability across the broad spectrum of employers. Next week, market action may take on a different tone with the onset of peak earnings season. The big banks are on tap and could send the S&P 500 to new highs.
