Today marks one of the most contentious Election Days in recent history, and in anticipation, the major indexes all notched victories for the day yesterday. Monday's rise also marks a notable start to recovery from the nasty selloff suffered last week. It still seems as though gains were capped for the day by investor concerns over a possible delayed or contested presidential election result. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI - 26,925.05) rose 423.5 points yesterday. The S&P 500 Index (SPX - 3,310.24) added 40.3 points for the day. The Nasdaq Composite (IXIC - 10,957.61) gained 46 points for the day. The Cboe Volatility Index (VIX - 37.13) lost 0.9 point on Monday to kickoff the week.

As for today... it's officially Election Day, traders. All eyes will zero in on election updates throughout the day. Today will also bring ISM Non-Manufacturing Employment and PMI data, as well as factory orders. Major companies including Sysco (SYY), Fox Corporation (FOXA), and Wayfair (W) will report earnings, too.
