Never trust a market move between Christmas and New Years.
The market was sure in a good mood though as the S&P 500 roared 65 points higher, or 1.4%, to a record 4791.
It was a similar tone in FX with the yen lagging. The pound led the way by a fair margin, which is a bit concerning on the ‘risk trade’ front with the kiwi not making much headway. Again, I wouldn’t read too much into any market move.
I will say that the public tide is now firmly against further lockdowns everywhere and more than the evident mildness of omicron, that’s what markets are picking up on.
