The stock market appeared in a holding pattern today after strong Cyber Monday sales buoyed investor sentiment yesterday. With the uncertainty surrounding the health of the global economy, U.S.-China trade negotiations, and falling oil prices weighing on the market, investors appeared to be waiting for some clarity.

Fed Chairman Jerome Powell will also speak tomorrow at the Economic Club of New York, undoubtedly fueling speculation on the odds of another interest rate hike in December.
