Midnight rally lives on, while all the good little boys and girls were fast asleep, Santa elves were working hard to make sure all equity markets are green his favorite color. Here comes santa clause, here comes santa clause, right down wall streets lane.
consumer spending 2/3 of GDP, I don't know whether anybody measures divergences between retail sales and SPX, just a thought RS
