Good MorningAll the major indexes closed at, or near, all-time highs on Monday. For now, the expectation for strong earnings in the tech sector outweigh concerns about the Delta variant. Cases of Covid-19 continue to rise throughout the United States. However, market analysts believe that only a return to restrictive lockdown policies will be enough to spook the markets.
Of greater short-term concern to investors is what the Federal Reserve will say when it conducts its open market committee meeting this week. Specifically, the markets will look for any indication that the Fed will tighten its accommodative money policy sooner than the committee has previously stated.
Meanwhile, investors heard from Tesla after the market closed on Monday. The timing of Tesla’s report is particularly interesting as shares of Lucid Motors jumped 8 percent on its first day as a publicly-traded company. Lucid is seen by many analysts as a competitor to Tesla in the premium electric vehicle market.
