I still think the primary trend is higher. If we’re right on growth, if we’re right on the Fed, if we’re right on technology, the raw ingredients would argue for the rally to continue.” This comes as first-time filings for jobless benefits for the week ending Nov. 30 rose by 9,000 to 224,000, higher than the Dow Jones estimate for 215,000.

Investors are now awaiting November’s nonfarm payrolls data, due out on Friday morning. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said on Wednesday during an onstage interview at The New York Times’ DealBook Summit that the U.S. economy is strong enough for the Fed to move carefully on rate cuts. “The labor market is better, and the downside risks appear to be less in the labor market,” he said. “Growth is definitely stronger than we thought, and inflation is coming [out] a little higher. So, the good news is that we can afford to be a little more cautious as we try to find neutral.” Fed funds futures trading suggests a 78% likelihood that the central bank will trim rates by a quarter point at its Dec. 17-18 meeting, but they imply a nearly 64% probability that policymakers will hold steady in January, according to the CME FedWatch tool.
