Oil prices edged lower, while U.S. government bonds and the dollar were little changed….

Brady said he believes Monday’s jump in the S&P 500 on anticipation of a victory by Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton was linked most closely to growing signs that she will win Florida. If signs emerge Tuesday that Republican candidate Donald Trump will take the state, expect the S&P 500 to give up all of Monday’s gains and more, he said. If those signs come after the market closes, he said expect e-minis futures activity to spike. On the other hand, “if Florida goes Clinton, we’ll all go home and get some sleep,” he said.
