Markets pushed higher on Monday, as Christmas might have come a little late this year in terms of a Santa Rally. The Nasdaq was up over 1% on the back of big tech. The S&P 500 was up nearly 1%, while the Dow Jones industrials were up just above 0.5%. This marks the last trading week of 2021, and as it stands now, each of the major averages is up around 20% (S&P 500 is up over 28%) — potentially more if this rally keeps up.
