Tech Talk for Tuesday January 5th 2021

Weakness in U.S. equity prices yesterday

Weakness can be attributed partially to traders who delayed profit taking until start of 2021. Also, poll results over the weekend for the Georgia Senate run-off elections today moved more in favour of wins by the two Democrat candidates. At least one major U.S. broker predicted a 5%-10% downdraft in U.S. equities if Democrats win both seats. Following is a link to the latest poll results:
