• Equities are little changed Wednesday morning as markets prepare for an early 1:00 PM close. The S&P 500 ended yesterday at a record close of 6,909, just shy of its all-time intraday high of 6,920, boosted by tech leaders Alphabet and Nvidia.
• U.S. GDP grew 4.3% year-over-year in Q3, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis—well above economists' 3.3% estimate and higher than Q2's 3.8%. This marks one of the final key economic data points of the year.
• Santa Claus Rally begins today, a seasonal rise in stock prices during the last five trading days of the year and first two of the new year—a term coined in 1972 by Yale Hirsch. Markets close at 1:00 PM today, reopen December 26 at 9:30 AM after the Christmas holiday.
