Tuesday saw a big drop across the broad markets, but on Wednesday things bounced back. This is not to say investors have lost focus on Omicron or Federal Reserve concerns, but when stocks slid significantly on last Friday and then again on Tuesday, it did provide a good buying opportunity. At the same time, economists are looking forward to Friday to see November’s unemployment report.
