<p>Markets pushed higher on Thursday with a big help from the technology sector. The Nasdaq led the charge higher, up over 1%, with the Dow Jones industrials and S&#038;P 500 each up 0.8%. If the trend continues, the S&#038;P 500 will snap its five-day losing streak.</p>
<p>Through the first seven days of December, the S&#038;P 500 is down roughly 3.6%, while the Nasdaq is looking at losses around 4.4%. Historically speaking, December and the fourth quarter are generally a positive time for markets, but recent concerns about rate hikes and geopolitical headwinds have the Nasdaq off to its worst start of the month since 1975.</p>
<p>The question remains whether the Federal Reserve will come through next week and deliver a 50-basis-point rate hike, as is expected, or are markets due for more turmoil ahead.</p>
