Stocks Pause After Two Days Of Big Gains

Stocks ended modestly lower yesterday after two heady days of gains.

But uncertainty over a potential fifth coronavirus relief/stimulus package put stocks in check. However, the Treasury Secretary and the Speaker of the House are expected to meet later today and resume negotiations that ended last month with no deal.

In other news, yesterday's Redbook report showed same store retail sales up 2.2% y/y vs. last month's rate of 1.5%.

And the Case-Shiller House Price Index was up an unadjusted 0.6% m/m vs. views for 0.3%, and 3.9% y/y vs. estimates for 3.7%.

Today is a big day of reports with MBA Mortgage Applications, Pending Home Sales, the third and final estimate for Q2 GDP, Corporate Profits, the Chicago PMI report, the State Street Investor Confidence Index, and the ADP Employment Report.

But the report everyone is waiting for is Friday's always important Employment Situation report.

In the meantime, the market will have plenty of data to act upon today.

And that's on top of months of improving economic numbers, and expectations for unprecedented growth for the remainder of the year.

See you tomorrow,

Kevin Matras
