Next, is an article from CNBC about how the stock market performed yesterday (“S&P 500 rises, tops 3,200 for the first time as investors ignore Trump’s impeachment”)! By all accounts, the latest impeachment news had no affect. Check out this excerpt:
“Wall Street was able to look past President Donald Trump’s impeachment in the House since the odds of the Republican-led Senate convicting him are so slim. “It’s fairly obvious that there just not going to be a removal,” remarked one investor on Thursday. Meanwhile, the disappointing jobless claims and business conditions data from the Philadelphia Federal Reserve did not deter investors from thinking the U.S. economy is still strong. Bottom line, the biggest obstacles the market faced throughout 2019 have subsided for now.“
As we head into the new year, keep an eye out for more on the impeachment and economy to better manage your personal finances.
