Daily Morning Note – 22 January 2021
PHILLIP SUMMARY
The S&P 500 and Nasdaq closed at record highs on Thursday, propelled by optimism about more pandemic relief under the Biden administration to support the economy after data showed a tepid labour market recovery. The Dow was also poised for a record until falling into negative territory in the final minutes of trading. The number of Americans filing new applications for unemployment benefits dipped to 900,000 last week, but still remained stubbornly high as the Covid-19 pandemic tears through the nation, raising the risk that the economy will shed jobs for a second straight month in January. But other data showed the housing and manufacturing sectors as areas of strength to help buttress the economy.
