Traders await Nonfarm Payrolls and watch January performance.
Equities markets began 2026 with weakness, reducing the likelihood of a Santa Claus rally. Historical data suggests the January Barometer remains a key indicator, as positive returns this month have preceded annual gains for the S&P 500 in 86% of years since 1945. Investors are also preparing for the first clean nonfarm payrolls report since the government shutdown, alongside services PMI data and several major corporate earnings releases.
