1. It was a dull day

My watchlist made its move by 10AM and volatility was low for the rest of the day. I saw very few if any red to greens or greens to red.

I'm also wondering if this lifelessness is being reflected in other areas of the economy. Specifically the internet has been very dull for me the last 2-3 weeks, not a lot of posts/activity. And retail stores seem to be slowing down, especially thrift stores & non-big box stores.

A few pundits and economists still think there will be deflation because spending will not rebound very far, and stim checks are for the most part spent.

2. I could be very wrong, but . . . .

. . . I think we're eventually going to have a calm before a storm. Is this that calm? I don't know.

3. Agree. Political, pandemic, and economic uncertainty are reflected in the market as well as society.

When clarity is absent we get consolidation. All asset classes drift in the same direction.
