S&P 500 Hits Fresh Record High In Beginning Of Concluding Trading Week Of 2021


U.S. stock indexes entered the final week of trade of the year at a positive note amid mounting omicron Covid-19 variant cases. The S&P 500 gained almost 1%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average added about 213 points or 0.6% at noon Eastern. The Nasdaq Composite went up by 1.12%, and Nasdaq 100 also rose 1.23%.

Market strategists are optimistic about the overall equity outlook on the back of new studies suggesting that the rate of hospitalization is less in Omicron than other Covid variants.

“We do not expect Omicron to impact the growth outlook in any significant way, but rather it is likely to accelerate the end of the pandemic,” JPMorgan’s Dubravko Lakos-Bujas said in a note on Monday.

The S&P 500 is on track to end the year with a gain of over 27%, making it a great year for the stock market.

Major stock indexes in the United States are eyeing to clock a third straight yearly gain, with the benchmark S&P 500 putting on its best three-year performance since 1999. The Dow is looking at a 17.8% annual jump, while the Nasdaq is seeing a 22.1% climb.

Technology stocks supported the S&P 500 on Monday, with companies like AMD Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. $AMD: $154.36(5.62%) and NVIDIA Corporation $NVDA: $309.45(4.40%)

, which gained over 4% in the initial hours of trading. In addition, Tesla, Inc. $TSLA: $1,093.94(2.52%), Microsoft Corporation $MSFT: $342.45(2.32%), Apple Inc. $AAPL: $180.33(2.30%), and Meta Platforms, Inc. $FB: $346.18(3.26%) are all trading in the green zone today.

The rise in the stock indices also came due to an 8.5% surge in holiday sales this year, compared to last year, the fastest pace in 17 years, says Mastercard SpendingPlus data. Americans grappled with supply chain disruptions, inflation and the new omicron variant in the last few weeks of the season. Mastercard SpendingPulse was expecting a 7.4% increase.

The results included the timeline from Nov. 1 through Dec. 24, which saw a 47% jump in sales in clothing and a 32 % increase in jewellery. Holiday sales climbed to 10.7% compared with the pre-pandemic levels of the holiday period.

Online sales also increased to 11 from a year ago and 61% from 2019. Department stores clocked a 21% increase as compared to 2020.

It helped retail stocks Ralph Lauren Corporation $RL: $116.93(4.27%)

and Ross Stores, Inc. $ROST: $112.37(2.01%) gain more than 3% and 2% each. Shares of GoDaddy Inc. $GDDY: $82.35(8.36%)

were also in the green zone, gaining about 9% after a report that activist investor Starboard Value LP bought a 6.5% stake in the internet domain registrar.

However, travel stocks cracked owing to Covid-19 disruptions hitting those sectors.

Airline stocks plunged following a holiday weekend that observed thousands of flights getting cancelled due to Covid-related issues. At this time, airlines were looking to boost their schedules to meet the high travel demand; the fast-spreading omicron variant posed an impediment to proper staffing.

Delta Air Lines, Inc. $DAL: $39.00(-0.76%), United Airlines Holdings, Inc. $UAL: $44.58(-0.65%) and American Airlines Group Inc. $AAL: $18.17(-0.49%); each slipped to the red zone.

The Chief Medical Advisor to the President, Dr Anthony Fauci, said on Sunday that cases of Covid-19 will keep on growing day by day as the omicron variant rapidly spreads across the globe. On ABC’s “This Week”, he said, “Every day it goes up and up. The last weekly average was about 150,000, and it will likely go much higher.”
