Wall Street starts December strong
US markets ended yesterday higher, as both the SPX500 and NASDAQ100 gained more than 1%, each registering a new all-time high, while the DJ30 also registered gains. Markets were lifted by positive momentum in the tech sector, including gains of more than 3% for Apple, Facebook and Tesla. This morning, however, futures point to a slight correction, as leading indices are expected to open lower. Markets today may be affected by Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s testimony in Washington DC about the CARES act, at 15:00 GMT.
