S&P 500 hits record high amid “rising tide of earnings”

The S&P 500 rose 0.5 percent to a record high on Monday.

“Rising tide of earnings is lifting all the boats and adding fuel to the bull market fire,” said Anu Gaggar, global investment strategist at Commonwealth Financial Network.

In the meantime, though, supply chain problems are likely to continue to pose problems for companies.

“Backlogs and elevated shipping costs are likely to persist at least through the middle of next year because no immediate solution for the underlying supply-demand imbalance at US ports is available,” Goldman economist Ronnie Walker said in a note to clients.
