Stock Market Update

The stock market is on track for another higher opening this morning after a data center cooling issue halted futures trading for much of the morning. 

Now that trading has resumed, futures continue to tick higher in a steady fashion as the major averages set their sights on sizable week-to-date gains. 

The major averages are all up over 2.5% week-to-date as the market's revitalized rate-cut hopes have seen stocks advance in broad fashion, with solid leadership coming from many of the mega-cap and momentum names that have lagged for much of November.
