Portfolio Pulse from Shanthi Rexaline
Ahead of the final trading session of 2023, Nasdaq and S&P 500 futures are flat, with the broader market potentially setting a record close. The S&P 500 is close to an all-time high, and the market is expected to have low volume due to the New Year holiday. Thursday's trading closed mixed, with the S&P 500 nearing its record and Nasdaq slightly down. Analyst Louis Navellier predicts AI to be a major theme and expects energy, consumer staples, utilities, and healthcare to do well in 2024. SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) and Invesco QQQ ETF (QQQ) saw slight premarket gains. Tesla (TSLA) is up in premarket trading, while Lyft (LYFT) and Uber (UBER) are down. Economic data to watch includes the Chicago ISM manufacturing survey.
