NDX, SPX Close Higher on Strong Breadth in Mega Caps and Technology...Consumer Discretionary, Industrials Lead All Sectors Higher on Election Day...After-hours: SMCI Lower after Preliminary EPS...

© 2024

The SPX +70.07, 5,782, opened higher, trended up and closed higher.  Breadth strengthened significantly in consumer discretionary, technology and communication services along with a drop in VIX.

The NDX +1.32% trading range, lower close.

Question:  Did you expect today’s election day market to rally like it did?  We asked the same question to iBullyBear members, and all responded, NO.  Before today, I heard no one forecast a big rally on election day.  Put all the talking heads from financial TV together and they still can’t see the future.  Stop trying to guess the future and Trade what you see!

PLTR +9.72, +23.47% after EPS and revenue beat and raised guidance.

CE -32.50, -26.32%. EPS and revenue miss and lower dividend.

NXPI -12.25, -5.17%. EPS beat, revenue in-line and lower guidance.

After-hours: SMCI -4.09, -14.80%. releases preliminary guidance on revenues < previous guidance and eps > previous guidance, that its independent special committee has found no evidence of fraud or misconduct, but still unsure of when its annual report will be filed.
