Highlights and Lowlights
US stock markets gained for the fifth week in a row, starting November off with fresh record highs for all three major indices. Markets were bolstered by more earnings as well as labour data, and although the Fed announced that it will begin tapering as expected later this month, interest rates are safe for the time being. The SPX500 climbed 2%, the DJ30 gained 1.4% and the NSDQ100 popped 3.1%.
What’s in Store for the Week?
The earnings season excitement is still in full swing, with reports this week from many investor favourites such as PayPal, AMC Entertainment, Virgin Galactic, Palantir, BioNTech, NIO, Disney, and Beyond Meat.
This week will reveal more key economic data, including the Fed’s consumer inflation expectations survey, and the US Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Producer Price Index (PPI) and Consumer Price Index (CPI). The focus for investors is on retail inflation for October, after September saw rates at thirteen-year highs. In addition, reports on small business optimism, consumer sentiment, and job openings are also expected.
