With a U.S. vaccine rollout in sight, markets traded to mixed results to start the week as positive news regarding the COVID vaccine supported stocks while continued lack of progress regarding an economic stimulus package have slowly begun to pressure markets this month. On Friday, President Trump signed a spending bill to allow Congress an additional week to agree on a yearly spending bill which will combine some sort of COVID relief. Reports of a bipartisan effort to release a stimulus plan is gaining some momentum with many expecting a strong resolution this week. The first shipment of the Pfizer vaccine within the U.S. has been shipped out to all 50 states while the Moderna vaccine looks to debut later this week. Nike, General Mills, and FedEx are due to release earnings this week will key economic reports include November retail sales as well as housing/building permits. Although the market traded to mixed results to start the week, we continue seeing strong rotation from growth to value stocks and believe the SPY is on its way to retest its recent highs. Until an additional breakout is sustained, our models are projecting the SPY to trade between the $340-$375 levels. With the market prone to further corrections, the next level of support is set at $350. We encourage all market commentary readers to maintain clearly defined stop-levels for all positions.
