Daily U.S. Market Update

Welcome back to the handful of you checking in today. Hopefully you enjoyed Christmas and Santa came through with everything you hoped for. As expected, it is a very quiet day unless you’re trading metals which are snapping back after a brief reversal ahead of the holiday. The measuring period for the Santa Clause Rally began on Tuesday with the S&P 500 closing modestly higher hitting a new all-time high. US equities are off to a mixed start after a quiet overnight session with pockets of Asia and all of Europe closed.
