Over halfway through the trading day on Monday, and the broad markets have retreated. The S&P 500, Nasdaq and Dow Jones industrial average were all down over 2% in the afternoon. The first trading session of 2021 is off to a shaky start. Let’s hope this isn’t an omen for the rest of the year.

Concerns over the outcome of the Georgia Senate runoff elections and a spike in COVID-19 cases in the United are what many are pointing to as to why the markets are sliding.
