Daily U.S. Market Update

Michael P. Reinking, CFA
Sr. Market Strategist

December 20, 2024 at 5:30 p.m. EDT

The last full trading week of 2024 is in the books. It was eventful, volatile and there were some record-breaking volumes. To start the week the breadth continued to deteriorate beneath the surface with mega-cap tech stocks continuing their recent outperformance. The most interesting stat I had seen this week came from Deutsche Bank which highlighted that decliners in the S&P 500 had outpaced advancers index for 12 consecutive sessions ahead of this week’s big catalyst, the FOMC policy decision on Wednesday. That was the longest streak since 1978 which lasted for 14 sessions, spoiler alert with today’s snapback that streak still stands as the second longest behind only the 1920’s. Despite that fact, the S&P 500 was trading within 1% of its all-time high. However, the drawdowns in other indices were more pronounced with many of the areas of the market that had outperformed immediately following the election giving back over half of those gains.

Early results show improved closing auction performance since its introduction
