On November 28, news reported that the Federal Reserve's favorite inflation indicator, although in line with expectations, rebounded in October compared to September. This data supports the Federal Reserve's cautious stance on interest rate cuts, but market expectations for a rate cut in December have not been dampened.
According to 4E monitoring, the three major U.S. stock indexes collectively closed lower on Wednesday, ending a recent streak of gains. The Dow Jones fell 0.31%, the S&P 500 dropped 0.38%, ending a seven-day rise; most large tech stocks declined, and the U.S. stock market will be closed for one day on Thursday, with an early close on Friday three hours ahead of schedule. Traders seem to be taking profits from large tech stocks that performed well this year, leading to a 0.60% drop in the Nasdaq, which lagged behind the three major indexes.
