It’s Election Day, and the bulls on Wall Street celebrated with some early morning fireworks!
Markets ran higher after a nice breakout on volume, with the S&P 500 jumping as much as 2% since Monday’s open!
We saw more order flow in fintech names Tuesday, with Square parent company, Block Inc. (NYSE: SQ), the focus of bullish headlines.
Analysts at Australian financial firm Macquarie announced an upgrade of SQ, from “neutral” to “outperform,” just a day after CEO Jack Dorsey confirmed on Twitter that Block was on its way to becoming one of the largest “bank like” institutions. Dorsey is the former CEO and a current investor in Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter.
