𝗔𝗹𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲… 𝗪𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗨𝗽 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗙𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 🧭🎅🎄 Last week was driven by three main themes: inflation data came in lower than expected, geopolitical tensions pushed oil back into focus, and the correction in AI-related stocks continued. Even though markets finished the week slightly higher, investors remained cautious. 𝗨.𝗦. 🇺🇸 The most important macro event was the November U.S. inflation report. Headline inflation slowed to 2.7%, while core inflation fell to 2.6%, the lowest level since early 2021. Markets reacted carefully, as October data were missing due to the government shutdown. Treasury yields moved only slightly lower, suggesting investors want clearer inflation data before changing their outlook. At the same time, the U.S. labor market is cooling. The unemployment rate rose to 4.6%, the highest level in more than four years. This is shifting investor attention away from inflation and toward the risk of slower economic growth. U.S. stock markets ended the week mixed. The Russell 2000 underperformed, showing pressure on smaller and more cyclical companies. AI-related stocks continued to struggle early in the week, but sentiment improved after the inflation data and strong guidance from parts of the semiconductor sector, helping markets avoid a larger pullback. 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲 🇪🇺 European markets finished the week higher. The STOXX Europe 600 gained about 1.6%, led by Italy, the UK, and France. The European Central Bank kept interest rates unchanged, while the Bank of England surprised markets by cutting rates to 3.75%. This supported European stocks, even as economic growth and labor market data remained weak. 𝗔𝘀𝗶𝗮 🌏 Japan continues to be a major focus. The Bank of Japan raised interest rates to 0.75%, the highest level in 30 years. Yields on Japanese government bonds moved above 2%, which could have long-term effects on global capital flows as Japanese investors start bringing money back home. Despite this historic move, markets reacted calmly, and the yen weakened slightly due to a lack of guidance on what comes next. 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗙𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀 🏢 𝗠𝗶𝗰𝗿𝗼𝗻 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 – the clear winner of the week, as demand for memory chips exceeds supply and capacity for 2026 is already sold out. 𝗢𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗹𝗲 – remains under pressure due to concerns about financing its AI infrastructure, with the TikTok deal not solving balance-sheet issues. 𝗡𝗶𝗸𝗲 – warned about the impact of tariffs and weak demand in China, putting pressure on margins and raising concerns across the consumer sector. 𝗔𝗺𝗮𝘇𝗼𝗻 – reportedly considering another large investment in OpenAI, highlighting continued heavy spending in AI. 𝗙𝗲𝗱𝗘𝘅 – posted solid results, but investors are still worried about weakness in freight and operational challenges. 𝗧𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘁 – rebounded strongly from its November lows. 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗪𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗲 – jumped after joining government-backed AI projects, despite ongoing funding concerns. 𝗟𝘂𝗹𝘂𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗻 – remains under pressure from activist investors pushing for changes in management and strategy. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 👀 After last week’s softer inflation data, focus now shifts to the PCE Price Index, the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation measure. This is the final major economic release before the holidays and could influence whether markets see a year-end “Santa Claus rally.” 🎅📈 Trade safe! Nezatron $SPX500 $NSDQ100 $DJ30
