Good MorningEquity markets extended the rebound in stocks to near the recent high on Tuesday but traders and investors alike are cautioned not to read too much into the move. Not only was the move driven by an absence of news but it occurred during a holiday-shortened trading week. The takeaway is that Tuesday's action appears bullish but may not lead to much without a true catalyst to induce the market to buy stocks.
Wednesday's action will be more of the same. The question is if the market will end the day up or down and the difference will be telling. A down market suggests traders are fearful of what might happen over the extended holiday weekend while an up market is the opposite. Next week the market will get back in gear as investors start to prep for the final days of the year and what could be a lackluster holiday shopping season.
