Resting eyes. Stocks could not hold on to early gains, selling off into the close and snapping a three-day winning streak. It was a day of mixed data and news, maybe a bit too much to process.

Success: the only option. Stocks rose yesterday on positive news of retail spending, virus treatments, and congressional spending. The Fed cast a cautious tone while buying bonds in the open market and investors love it!

Sugar on top. Stocks overcame an early deficit yesterday and rallied into the close after the Fed made good on its earlier pledge of support. The Fed also announced the opening of its Main Street lending facility enabling companies to borrow directly from the Central Bank.

Instantly gratified. Markets staged somewhat of a comeback on Friday after Thursday’s rout as bullish stock investors tried to buy the dip… again. Stocks had a bumpy ride throughout the session but ultimately rallied into the close led by the usual suspect recovery stocks.

Bubble trouble. Stocks got hammered in yesterday’s session as traders took a gut check on the nation’s recovery. News of growing COVID cases around the US soured investor sentiment causing a violent sell-off in stocks which were high flyers… just a few days ago.

It’s not a sprint. Stocks had another mixed close yesterday with tech pulling the Nasdaq to another new all-time high as new virus cases picked up steam. The Fed has our backs for the foreseeable future… at least until 2022, according to Jerome Powell.
