Stock futures remained little different on Sunday night as the US government closure continued after a week after Wall Street gathered to hit highs.
Dow Jones Industrial Average Futures It was 37 points higher, and was checked at 0.1%. S&P 500 Futures Together we won 0.1% Nasdaq-100 Futures.
The S&P 500 and NASDAQ Composite have risen 1.1% and 1.3% from their fourth advance in five weeks, respectively. The Dow rose for the third time in four weeks, moving forward by 1.1%.
Investors plated concerns about the closure after failing to reach funding deals again to keep the government open. The shutdown delayed the release of key economic data, including its employment report in September.
“Nevertheless, we believe this is a ‘sidebar’ issue and the probability of strong stocks being strongly supported from October to December this year. In fact, the S&P 500 will reach at least 7,000 by the end of the year, and we think it’s probably high.”
“We recommend looking into the clutter of the shutdown, and even the lack of data. If the stock is particularly weak, we use this to ‘buy a dip’,” he said.
Despite the data blackout, several Federal Reserve officials are scheduled to speak this week, including Fed Gov. Stephen Miran on Wednesday and Chairman Jerome Powell on Thursday.
