E-Mini S&P 500- the little market that could!
The E-Mini S&P 500 just keeps chugging a little higher every day! There were no major economic reports out today. Mergers and Earnings fueled the upward move to a certain degree. Kindred Healthcare Inc was involved in the potential acquisition of RehabCare Group Inc. which should make it sort of a mega long-term care facility in health care. 72% of the reported S&P 500 companies were good out of the half in so far. McDonald’s Corp was up 1.1% to $74.22 before the open. China’s Central Bank initiated a rate hike, the 2nd in over a month. They institute these hikes to control potential inflation. The Lunar New Year ends tomorrow morning.
