Thursday’s stock market saw the Dow Jones slipping by 0.13%, ending its winning streak, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq showed marginal gains. Declines in Cisco and Walmart heavily influenced the Dow’s dip, accompanied by a pullback in Chevron due to a 5% fall in U.S. crude oil prices. Despite this pause, November’s overall trajectory remained positive, buoyed by encouraging inflation reports earlier in the week. The currency market witnessed the USD index decline amid speculation about Fed rate cuts, impacting pairs like EUR/USD and USD/JPY. Fluctuations were observed in GBP/USD, while commodities like gold surged amidst falling yields, contrasting Bitcoin’s 4.2% decline.
In Thursday’s stock market session, the Dow Jones Industrial Average concluded lower, halting its recent four-day winning streak, slipping by 0.13% to close at 34,945.47. Similarly, while the S&P 500 marginally increased by 0.12%, closing at 4,508.24, the Nasdaq Composite showed a slight uptick of 0.07%, ending at 14,113.67. This pullback was influenced by significant declines in specific stocks: Cisco Systems plummeted nearly 10% following a disappointing outlook for the current quarter and full fiscal year, while Walmart saw an 8% decline after issuing a below-expectation forecast, making them the primary detractors in the Dow. Chevron also experienced a dip of 1.6% as U.S. crude oil prices observed a 5% fall.
Despite this pause in the November rally, the overall trajectory for the month has been positive, with the three major indexes showing approximately 2% gains each. The market was buoyed earlier in the week by encouraging inflation reports: October witnessed a substantial 0.5% decline in the producer price index, the most significant drop since April 2020, while the consumer price index remained stable, reinforcing investor hopes that the Federal Reserve might be content with the moderating inflation trend. As a result, the S&P 500 surged over 7%, the Dow ascended by 5.7%, and the Nasdaq soared by 9.8%, indicating substantial growth across these indices for the month.

However, the USD showcased resilience post-data release, backed by a rebound in US yields. While the negative Dollar sentiment prevails, the USD’s strength is evident against a backdrop of comparatively robust US economic performance. This correction in EUR/USD is viewed as a temporary adjustment in light of ongoing market expectations regarding the Fed’s stance on rates. The coming US economic data could further impact the pair’s movement.

Presently, the pair is trading between the middle and upper bands, hinting at a potential slight decline towards the middle band.

XAU/USD Surges Amidst Weaker Dollar and Economic Reports
Spot Gold, represented by XAU/USD, surged as it broke above the $1,975 resistance level, reaching its highest point in over a week. The rally was fueled by a weaker US Dollar and declining Treasury yields. Despite reports showing a rise in weekly Jobless Claims and a contraction in Industrial Production, Gold soared over $20, propelled by technical factors and the growing sentiment that the Federal Reserve is halting interest rate hikes.
