Everything (We Know) Happening Today

Increasingly, the story on Wall Street is turning from the recent Fed rate cut to the future ones. JP Morgan Chase  (JPM)  CEO Jamie Dimon said in an interview last night that cutting rates further from here will be "hard" for the Fed to cut further from here.

With that, bullish investors are going to have to find reasons to keep up the momentum, especially outside of the narrow handful of equities that are keeping the indexes alive. Yesterday was S&P 500's, Nasdaq's and Dow's 28th, 19th, and 7th record close of the year. For Gold, it was the 36th. 

Futures today are mixed this morning, so if that's to continue, there's a balance to walk from day-to-day. Here is what could help move markets today:
