Major European indices trade higher across the board even though Greece-related concerns have returned to the surface in recent days. The International Monetary Fund has maintained that debt relief for Greece will be needed, but European officials remain against reducing the troubled country's debt burden. Yesterday afternoon, German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said Greece would have to leave the euro in order to win a debt cut. Greece is due to make its next debt payment in July, but will be unable to do so if it doesn't receive the next installment of its bailout from the eurozone. The disbursement of the bailout tranche will not occur until the Troika completes a review of the Greek fiscal situation, which has been delayed.

«We believe it's time for video data to move to the center of public safety records systems, with far richer and more transparent information than historic text-only systems,» said Rick Smith, CEO and co-founder of TASER. «Axon AI is focused on extracting usable information from these video records, automatically populating our new RMS system. AI will significantly streamline these business processes so officers can focus on what matters: their operational environment. Axon AI will also greatly reduce the time spent preparing videos for public information requests or court submission. This will lay the foundation for a future system where records are seamlessly recorded by sensors rather than arduously written by police officers overburdened by paperwork,» concluded Smith.

Shares of TWTR have plunged 10.0% after the company missed revenue expectations and issued below-consensus guidance.

As it were, all three major US indices have made new all-time highs today intraday. Action has come on mostly higher than average volume (NYSE 320 vs. avg. of 321; NASDAQ 821 mln vs. avg. of 775), with advancers outpacing decliners (NYSE 1994/988, NASDAQ 2035/692) and new highs outpacing new lows (NYSE 134/6, NASDAQ 160/23).

Equity indices have pushed through the cautious tone that has defined this week thus far to hit new record highs in the first half of Thursday's session. The S&P 500, the Nasdaq, and the Dow all hold a gain of 0.6% while the small-cap Russell 2000 index (+1.5%) outperforms.
The most notable factor driving the market higher today has been President Trump's announcement that he will release a major tax announcement in the next few weeks. However, it is important to note that a snowstorm on the East Coast has kept some participants away from their trading desks today, which makes it easier for the market to be pushed around.
The financial sector (+1.3%), which paced the post-election rally on promises of deregulation and tax reform, has provided solid sector leadership today following Mr. Trump's announcement. The space has also been aided by a steepening yield curve as short-term Treasuries have been able to resist selling pressure better than their longer-dated peers. The benchmark 10-yr yield is six basis points higher at 2.38% while the 2-yr yield is up only one basis point at 1.15%.
Energy (+0.8%) and industrials (+0.9%) have also outperformed the benchmark index, while the top-weighted technology sector (+0.3%) lags. The space's gains have been capped by a lackluster performance from Apple (AAPL 131.82, +0.35) and a bearish sentiment among chipmakers. The PHLX Semiconductor Index is lower by 0.3%.
Consumer staples (+0.2%) neighbor the technology sector following mixed earnings results from its components this morning. Coca-Cola (KO 41.02, -1.01) has slipped 2.4% after the company's disappointing guidance overshadowed above-consensus revenues. Meanwhile, CVS Health (CVS 76.60, -0.45) also trades lower, losing 0.6% after worse than expected revenues outweighed better than expected earnings. On the upside, Kellogg (K 76.50, +2.98) trades 4.1% higher after reporting above-consensus earnings per share.
The lightly-weighted utilities (-0.8%) and materials (unch) sectors are the only spaces trading in the red. Sealed Air (SEE 45.73, -4.47) has had its hand in pushing the materials space lower, plunging 8.9% in reaction to the company's disappointing guidance and lower than expected revenues.
Today's economic data included Initial Claims and December Wholesale Inventories:
