Good MorningAll the major indexes were down on Tuesday. This broke a string of three days that each index closed at an all-time high.
One reason for the drop could be growing pessimism surrounding the infrastructure bill that is held up in Congress. Investors are also waiting for the Federal Reserve which finished the first day of its two-day meeting this week. Markets are likely to be volatile prior to Chairman Jerome Powell’s remarks which he will deliver on Wednesday afternoon.
On a more optimistic note, investors may have left a little room for a move forward in anticipation of a raft of strong earnings. Alphabet, Apple, and Microsoft all reported strong earnings after the market closed on Tuesday. This will likely send the tech sector higher in after-hours and pre-market trading.
