Congratulations — Relive the Best Insights from the Webinar
Good morning,
Global equities edged higher on Friday as investors digested positive earnings and awaited next week’s key economic reports. The S&P 500 rose 0.27% to close at 6,765, while the Nasdaq Composite gained 0.31% on selective tech rebounds, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average advanced 0.25% or about 130 points, led by energy and consumer discretionary stocks. European benchmarks like the Stoxx 600 climbed 0.38% amid easing inflation concerns, and Asian markets traded mixed overnight—Japan’s Nikkei rose 0.55% on export data, while China’s Shanghai Composite slipped 0.25% amid property sector caution.
Bitcoin (BTC/USD) traded near $95,000 after recovering from $93,500 earlier this week, with the Crypto Fear & Greed Index in "extreme fear" at 14. U.S. spot ETF outflows totaled $1.0 billion over the past week, while $480 million in liquidations continued to fuel volatility as institutional flows favor stablecoins. Ethereum dipped 0.6% to $3,470, underscoring crypto’s correlation with equity volatility.
Today's key releases include the U.S. Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index for October at 8:30 a.m. ET, expected to show moderate inflation, followed by the November University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment survey at 10:00 a.m. ET. December rate-cut odds remain elevated at 55% for a 25 bps reduction to 3.75-4.00% per CME FedWatch, with the funds rate projected at 3.50-3.75% by year-end; a soft print could strengthen expectations for easing, while the dollar traded flat against the euro yesterday.
