While the S&P 500 wavered, it headed toward its best week in a month. The technical backdrop is supportive, raising the possibility the S&P 500 could avoid another year of negative Santa Claus Rally returns, said Adam Turnquist at LPL Financial. A positive outcome has seen the S&P 500 deliver an average January gain of 1.4% and a 10.4% surge for the full year that follows, said Turnquist. The S&P 500 held near 6,935. “It is obviously not fool proof, since it gave false readings in the past two years.”Of course, past performance is never a guarantee of future results, he warned.
