Headline News:

U.S. stock futures are lower as investors appear to be taking gains after a two-day rally. Also, the start of the first-quarter earnings season could have investors in a wait-and-see mode. The progress of President Biden’s new infrastructure proposal will also be closely watched. Later today, the U.S job openings report will be released and could give more clues on the economic recovery’s health.

Markets: 

The S&P 500 closed at another all-time high at 4077.91, but volume remained low with only 2,220,003,840 shares traded. The RSI index is close to the overbought level, closing at 68.27 in support of the rally. The low volume and a potentially overbought index are a small concern, but there is a new uptrend now in place. Possible resistance could come in at 4083.42, and potential support could come in at 4034.44. A down or sideways trading day is likely today after two strong rally days.

We are currently long-term bullish and short-term cautious.
