π US stocks rebounded on Thursday after two-day Omicron-sparked selloff. All sub-sectors of the S&P 500 increased with industrials and energy leading the gains. The initial jobless claims beat estimates just ahead of todayβs nonfarm payroll report. European indices closed the day lower.

What is SANTA CLAUS RALLY? ππ
π€
A Santa Claus rally is a calendar effect that involves a rise in stock prices during the last 5 trading days in December and the first 2 trading days in the following January.
According to the 2019 Stock Trader's Almanac, the stock market has πΉ risen 1.3% on average during the 7 trading days in question since both 1950 and 1969. Over the 7 trading days in question, stock prices have historically risen 76% of the time, which is far more than the average performance over a 7-day period.
However, in the weeks prior to Christmas, stock prices have not gone up more than at other times of the year.
The Santa Claus rally was first recorded by Yale Hirsch in his Stock Trader's Almanac in 1972.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) has performed better in years following holiday seasons in which the Santa Claus rally does not materialize.
