The S&P 500 Index ($SPX) (SPY) today is down -0.05%, the Dow Jones Industrials Index ($DOWI) (DIA) is up +0.69%, and the Nasdaq 100 Index ($IUXX) (QQQ) is up +0.18%. March E-mini S&P futures (ESH26) are down -0.07%, and March E-mini Nasdaq futures (NQH26) are up +0.16%.
Stock indexes are mixed today, with the Dow Jones Industrials climbing to a new all-time high. The broader market has support from today's weaker-than-expected reports on Dec retail sales and the Q4 employment cost index, which knocked bond yields lower and reinforced the case for the Fed to resume its interest rate cuts this year. The 10-year T-note yield fell to a 3-week low today at 4.15%.
