A half day of trading Wednesday resulted in a listless session as major averages ended mostly flat. The Nasdaq added 0.2%, the Dow rose less than 0.1% and the S&P 500 fell a fraction. Volume was naturally light due to the shortened session. But based on 3-1/2 hours of trading, NYSE volume ended fairly close to Tuesday’s level and Nasdaq volume fell. The market uptrend has resumed, but an elevated distribution day count is problematic.
