Markets were somewhat mixed on Wednesday with the Dow Jones industrials and S&P 500 edging higher with the Nasdaq slipping. Although COVID-19 cases are on the rise globally due to the omicron variant, investors seem to be taking it in stride, as the S&P 500 hit a fresh all-time high earlier this week. With only a few days left in 2021, it remains to be seen if the Santa rally will kick into gear.
