Afternoon Note
The holiday spirit continues today in the market as the Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq all are trading at or near all-time highs. Investors are continuing to bet that the Fed will begin cutting rates in March (the FedWatch tool is now at a 75% chance of a 25-bps cut).
The 10-year yield is down again today to its lowest level since July, trading around 3.8%.
Six of the S&P 500 sectors are in the green with Consumer Discretionary leading and Communication Services lagging. Oil prices are down today as some shippers return to the Red Sea eases a bit. WTI is down to $75. `
Advancers lead decliners and new highs continue to crush new lows, a sign we love.
